If you enjoy isolation then this company is for you - 450 people under one roof but you're not actually allowed to speak to them despite advertising themselves as a 'sociable' company.
If they don't like you they will simply bully you until you leave, this happened prior and during my employment and is still happening now in various departments.
HR aware of problems and still will not tackle them head on, despite current and previous employees being miserable.
Nasty office politics - you will be thrown under a bus if it benefits them.
Work as hard as you like, you will be told you're not doing enough, probation's are often extended as an act of power without valid reason.
Cannot go 1 minute over lunch break, spend too long in the toilet or making tea as you will be pulled up for lack of productivity.
Senior management do not always want to take responsibility for giving negative feedback, will claim it was flagged by Partners - another act of power play.
Socials boring.
Senior management dislike each other and it shows - get conflicting instructions from different people so you are set up to fail.
Male dominated at the top.
Younger employees are used to do the menial jobs disguised as great opportunities.
Marketing initiatives are confused, odd, not engaging.
Environment is TOXIC - avoid at all costs.
The worst departments to work for are definitely VAT and HRC (ironic) for toxicity, power play, bullying and general feeling of unhappiness.
