Where to start, the company is really trying to put the man back into management, the misogynistic undertones of upper management are a disgrace and I am appalled by the way they have acted in the past.
The staff turnover is unbelievable, going from 30 something people down to almost nothing is a clear sign that something is not right. Threats and bullying of staff is seen as normal, and the impact is clear on the remaining staff. The trouble is there is no HR to report the issue to, so you are left to suffer.
Creative work is treated as something that needs to be piled high and done quickly, unlike many places I have worked at in the past, the respect given to creative work is nonexistent, quality is not appreciated yet the CEO gives his creative input, which quite frankly leaves a lot to be desired in terms taste and sense. For a design driven company its outrageous. The CEO also brings in additional work, not for the company but for himself.
The reports of fake reviews are true, and threats have been made to members of staff if positive reviews are not left, these positive reviews are censored by the CEO to ensure that nothing bad is said, anything else is taken out.
Project management and planning is non existent, the only management is when something goes wrong, then management will slowly move into action and then it is normally just to look for some chump to take the fall. This would be OK, but once the fire is out its back to the old standby of no management.
There is no work life balance, the only balance in the place is the many projects that are like spinning plates and the workload is insurmountable. The company has clearly mortgaged its future on accepting more projects that it could possibly handle and it is now beginning to bite.
Workers are often accused of underperforming, and basically leaching money off of the company, which given everything else that happens in the company is completely laughable.
