All Lad, No Life Balance - Anonymous employee LADbible Group Employee Review

*The culture can feel toxic and cult-like, heavily influenced by outdated 'lad' culture references. *Very little flexibility for parents or those planning to start a family. Working mums in particular seem to struggle with balancing childcare and work demands. *Mandatory three days in office fosters a strong culture of presenteeism, with little regard for individual circumstances or productivity. *A heavy drinking culture dominates social interactions, which can feel exclusionary or uncomfortable for some. *Employees are routinely overworked and underpaid. Despite frequent messaging around mental health, genuine support is lacking. *Leadership is disconnected from staff, creating a clear ‘them vs. us’ divide. Transparency is minimal, and employee input is often dismissed. *No real investment in training or professional development. Career progression is virtually nonexistent. *High turnover across teams, including among new starters, speaks volumes about the internal culture.
