Be mindful - Anonymous employee Ohme Employee Review

Team, technology, product, resources, good exposure

It was a stealth mode start up

Some great people. Salary was bang on average for my role. Hybrid work style

My experience with Ohme was, frankly, one of the most dysfunctional and demoralising professional environments I’ve ever encountered. The culture felt toxic from the top down. Communication was virtually non-existent unless something had gone wrong, and even then it was handled with blame rather than leadership. Decisions were dictated, not discussed. There was no transparency, no clarity, and certainly plenty of micromanagement — plenty of orders, zero guidance. Strategy changed constantly without explanation, and accountability somehow always flowed downward, never upwards Training? Minimal to none. Respect? Even less. People were expected to “just figure it out,” then criticised for not magically knowing unwritten rules. I often felt looked down upon, I felt as though I was treated as a disposable resource rather than a professional. I was replaced with back-channel politics, favouritism, and what often felt like quiet backstabbing. Promises about growth, support, and progression rarely materialised. Instead, there were shifting goalposts and vague or questionable contractual clauses that seemed designed more to protect the company than treat staff fairly. Letting people go felt procedural and cold, sometimes relying on shady technicalities rather than honest conversations. Overall, it created a culture of anxiety rather than performance — where people spent more energy watching their backs than doing good work. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone looking for a healthy, respectful, or professionally supportive workplace.
