BE Offices Reviews

The business is very biased, you will only be promoted based on likeability, not on competency to do your job. People are punished by HR for discussing very obvious issues - instead of resolving whatever the issue may be, its overlooked because of blatant favouritism & corrupt management. An Example I saw: A Senior Member of staff was caught out on many occasions being unprofessional and incompetent at their job, doing next to no work and pushing everything onto their team, mostly the Manager of the team, it was plain to see as everyone in head office would point it out however there was never any action made to change this. Senior management should be an example to others in the business to strive towards, however BE directors hire their family or friends more so than qualified professionals. Anyone with an original opinion is suppressed and told to fit into a certain "BE" Mould or is pushed out due to feeling so unhappy in work. There is 0 integrity from most people in the business, who all talk behind eachothers backs but act nice to eachothers faces, feels as though no one is genuine.

Nepotism definitely takes place but also favouritism from specific Directors. I wouldn't say it's a fair place and you can't trust what you tell HR as confidential. Culture is toxic, and it shows by some people who have been there 5,10 years plus who are not competent in their role. I would avoid this company and have no space for career progression unless someone leaves (senior management won't leave if they have been there for years as it's an easy job with minimum effort). All reception staff have a certain 'look' from Essex with no qualifications...
