Company full of purpose and service - Senior Director CREATION.co Employee Review

- great people - exciting niche - incredible professional training

- small to medium sized business

I made some really good friendships among my peers in junior roles in the company. Most of them have also left the company at this point.

Although not publicly acknowledged, Creation hires almost exclusively from one religious background, and expects participation from all it's employees in a narrow (and somewhat extreme) interpretation of that faith practice. This has included encouraging all members of the company to take part in fasts, and the 'Chief Spiritual Officer' of the organisation leading bible studies in which he has made homophobic and sexist comments. They claim to practice the values of 'love, service, and excellence'; instead they weaponise these values to make employees never feel good enough regardless of the level of their performance - burnout is extremely common in this organisation. Staff are encouraged to bring their whole self into work and share their concerns directly with SLT and the CEO. Unfortunately any honesty from staff is commonly used against them and sharing any criticism will initially be stonewalled and ignored. If the staff member continues to persist with their concerns, even when shared by the majority of the junior staff, the messenger becomes villainised and forced out of the company.
