A toxic place to work - Anonymous employee M Squared Lasers Employee Review

You still get to work with some great people who are still left.

The executive team has no idea their employees are leaving because of them, their bad decisions, and their egos. Diversity does not exist here and if you're a woman, be prepared to only be head through your male managers. If you like to be told what to do, how to do your job, and get blamed for when things go wrong, this is the ideal place to be. Want to do your job? Ask for permission first.

None, all the professionals were laid off so the incredibly unprofessional management could save a few quid

Management. They are incompetent, delusional and downright dishonest to both staff and customers. Working conditions. Mismanagement causes weeks of downtime as management don’t understand lead times or, well, anything really. Then you will be given days, if not weeks, worth of tasks to do in hours. And you will be told if this doesn’t happen the company will not survive. And after your heroic efforts what reward awaits you? Not even a thank you. Salary. You might think the salary is competitive when you first join. But that’s all a ploy to get you in and trap you in and to keep you on exactly that salary until the day you leave. If you aren’t the special one (you are not, he already exists) you will receive nothing in terms of monetary reward. No inline with inflation salary increase. No salary increase even if you take over while other departments because the previous members have all quit and not been replaced. Not a single bean. That’s all for the CEO and COO. Directors will get yearly salary increases, increases that are double, triple, maybe even ten times your salary. But I measly employee who does critical work? You get nothing! I could go on but you get the gist. Do not work here. It is a toxic hellhole and I can only imagine it will continue to get worse
