International team overshadowed by toxic leadership and instability - Anonymous employee Boataround Employee Review

- Supportive and collaborative colleagues who genuinely help each other - Friendly team atmosphere despite challenging circumstances - In the past, there were real opportunities for career and salary growth

- There is almost zero transparent communication from the company. Employees are rarely informed about decisions, which leads to rumors and people finding things out indirectly instead of through official channels. - Leadership does not seem open to constructive feedback, and performance evaluations can feel inconsistent or subjective. Decision-making often feels unpredictable, which creates stress and insecurity among employees. - While employee benefits are being reduced or removed due to budget limitations, the company continues to spend money on initiatives that do not appear to add clear business value. - Due to the company’s current situation, there are almost no opportunities for professional or financial growth, which significantly affects motivation. - There is little to no company culture, and minimal visible effort to actively support or engage employees. - It often feels like some employees are treated more favorably than others. This affects fairness and morale. - As a result, the overall atmosphere has become tense and uncertain.

some people that are employed in the company are actually really good people.

Unsafe travel policies (potential legal issue – health & safety): Travel budgets are absurdly low, bookings are always last-minute, and mandatory room-sharing with senior staff creates stress, discomfort, and, in my case, illness. This could violate workplace health and safety obligations, putting employees at risk. Unfair compensation (illegal – labor law / wage violations): Junior account managers are expected to meet the same KPIs as senior staff but are paid less; raises are arbitrary, inconsistently applied, and favor certain employees, which is demoralizing and unethical. This is illegal, among other illegal practices I observed at the company, as it violates fair pay and equal treatment regulations. ESOP unfulfilled (potential breach of contract / fiduciary duty): Promised employee stock options were never delivered despite repeated emails and verbal requests — even after termination. Failing to provide this legally promised compensation is a serious contractual violation. Disorganized responsibilities (potential legal / labor issues): KPIs and territories are frequently changed mid-quarter with unrealistic targets; extra work is dumped on employees without support or fair compensation. Many employees are aware that KPIs are structured in a way that makes it almost impossible to earn bonuses, which can constitute wage manipulation or denial of earned pay. Toxic management & concerning practices (potential discrimination / harassment): Power plays and pressure tactics are standard; there is a concerning pattern of how employees are treated when returning from leave (maternity or otherwise), creating stress, uncertainty, and fear of retaliation. Treating employees unfairly after leave may violate anti-discrimination laws and workplace protections. Overall environment (systemic abuse / labor violations): Employee well-being is consistently ignored; the company prioritizes appearances and short-term results over fairness, support, or sustainable work practices. Working here is exhausting and exploitative, creating a high-risk environment for labor complaints. Final note: The work is underpaid, and you are much better off looking elsewhere where your efforts and performance are fairly compensated.
