Pros
The more junior members of staff all get along really well, monthly gift voucher
Cons
In my experience, the toxic culture at this company starts at the very top and filters down through management. I felt that being bullied, undermined, unsupported, and ultimately managed out was normalised and treated as acceptable within the business, including at even the most senior level. Pay reviews are non-existent. Some members of the team had worked there for over 18 months without any annual pay review or increase, despite consistently taking on work beyond their original job roles. This company was not a place where employees could safely speak up. In my experience, raising concerns often made the situation worse, and voicing how you felt negatively impacted the way you were treated. As a result, junior members of staff were left without protection or support, as HR and senior leadership would typically side with management rather than properly investigating concerns. I also felt that younger members of staff, particularly young women, were frequently undermined and treated in a way that created a hostile and uncomfortable working environment. Working here left me chronically stressed, struggling with sleep, crying at work, and feeling physically sick before going in to the office. Staff turnover was very high, processes were lacking, and, looking back, it was the most negative working environment I have ever experienced.
