RIBA Reviews

The institution feels outdated, with a hierarchical, male-dominated work environment and a lot of internal politics. Its business model is equally puzzling—there’s little focus on ROI, and business case approvals seem to hinge more on personal relationships with senior management than on merit. What’s most concerning, though, is how some managers treat staff (abusive)—it's appalling, and HR doesn't offer much support. It feels like the organisation survives on its name and heritage but how long will it last?

- Worst line manager I've ever dealt with - No progression - No direction for business - Shockingly bad equipment for staff - Zero resources Wasted a year and a half working for a company that most likely don't even know you exist. Don't be fooled by the pay, this is purely as they can't retain staff due to shocking working conditions and inexperienced managers.
