Extreme lack of communication between senior leadership team to manager to team members, no diversity & inclusion initiatives sometimes adhoc last minute socials - but founders don't join, lack of feedback from manager, random rules set in place for control, if you question rules or processes you'll feel as if you have a target on your back, if you don't conform you will be seen as 'not a great fit for the agency', no relationship feels genuine, there is no career development plan or training, no consequences for bad behaviour (i.e. sexual harassment, disrespectful attitudes, finger-pointing, etc.), constantly overworked & undervalued, manager isn't easy to contact & avoids helping or giving input, the senior leadership team are allowed different rules than the other team levels (i.e. annual leave days, work from home days, arriving at different times), favouritism is constantly visible from founders with those employees who have industry connections, if you voice out wrongdoings or red flags you will be silenced, no HR department within the agency - only an online platform through BrightHR, wrongful dismissals without HR or manager present and lead by founders, tone of founder is authoritative - delivery is never neutral, positive, or constructive.

Management are passive aggressive, patronising, dismissive and very typical negative office culture. At first they make it sound like a very comfortable place to work, community driven and caring about employee needs however right away you start to realise that might not be the case. I was also personally warned from other employees when starting. When starting the agency, the first week I was expected to fully work without having a good understanding of how to do certain processes. Getting very different information from different people on how to do 1 thing was confusing. Had to quickly learn and work at the same time, very stressful and should not have been organised this way, normally you get at least 1-2 weeks of learning and settling in before getting stuck in with a ridiculous amount of work. VERY demanding work to where it causes us to work out of work hours, mentally draining, unprofessional talks. Rude, patronising and very dismissive responses when we are talking about how we feel and what employees think. Quite a few people have left the job in a short period of time because of this and many other reasons. Probation meetings are delayed without warning or communication as to ‘why’. Not being able to adjust work hours even if its a medical issue though they advertise flexibility and understanding. Flexible working for some and not others (favouritism). There is no HR department within the agency only an online platform through BrightHR which are also uncontactable unless its through your manager or founders . This is not a joke and unfortunately it does hurt to write this. Please be careful if you are thinking of applying to this company.
