Pros

Remote working - but your screen is captured every 10 minutes Good sick pay - not any more Culture - not any more

Cons

* Since changes in senior leadership, company culture has shifted significantly from what it once was. * Previously strong benefits (including sick pay and flexibility) have been reduced, which has impacted morale. * Increased monitoring measures (including frequent laptop screenshots) have created a feeling of mistrust rather than empowerment. * Leadership and senior management can feel insular and clique-based, with limited openness to challenge or alternative viewpoints. * There has been a noticeable turnover across multiple departments, including long-tenured and high-performing employees. * The sales team has seen substantial changes, with experienced team members leaving following the management transition. * Several long-standing client relationships appear to have ended, contributing to wider concerns about business stability. * Communication often feels overly polished or performative, with an emphasis on optics rather than addressing underlying concerns. * There are concerns around workplace behaviour and management style that have led to departures across teams. * Overall morale has declined compared to previous years, and the organisation feels significantly smaller than it once was. The company once had a genuinely supportive and progressive culture. Unfortunately, recent structural and leadership changes have altered that environment considerably, and I would encourage prospective employees to conduct thorough due diligence.

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective. Exposure Ninja has continued to evolve as the business grows, and like many companies we periodically review policies and team structures to ensure the organisation remains sustainable and supportive for both our team and our clients. You mentioned changes to our sick leave policy. We did recently update this. While the format changed, the policy remains more generous than what is typically offered within agencies in our sector and for employees with 2 years tenure there was no change. Supporting our team’s wellbeing continues to be a priority which is reflected in our company sick leave policy. There have also been changes within our sales team over the past year as we refined how that function operates. However, overall staff turnover across the business remains lower than the industry average, and many members of our team have been with the company for several years. Regarding time tracking, Exposure Ninja has been a fully remote company for over a decade and has used the same time-tracking tools throughout that time. These tools are intended to help teams manage workloads and collaborate effectively in a remote environment. We take feedback about culture seriously and regularly gather input through employee surveys, HR conversations and check-ins. Our aim is always to maintain an environment where people feel supported, heard and able to contribute openly. We appreciate all feedback. If any team member has concerns they’d like to discuss directly, our HR team and CEO are always open to hearing feedback so we can continue improving.

Pros

Offers a degree of flexibility in working arrangements Several strong department heads who manage high-pressure demands effectively A friendly and supportive HR team

Cons

The COO is widely perceived as unreceptive to feedback, including recommendations from HR which is concerning Company culture has eroded, with a reliance on contrived “fun” initiatives Senior leadership appears underdeveloped and lacking in experience Tends to address symptoms rather than underlying issues, applying short-term fixes Ongoing loss of strong employees, often attributed to poor treatment Perceived favouritism in decision-making Concerns around bias affecting quieter individuals and those with ESL Despite messaging on unconscious bias, some senior leaders are seen as demonstrating it themselves
