Amazing place to learn, don't expect any influence and be prepared to work around inefficient management - Business Development Manager Criticaleye Employee Review

The people and the social aspect.

If you aren’t in direct sight of the CEO, don’t hold out any hope for a future in this company. You will not be seen, heard, progress or treated like anything bar a number in this organisation. They boast to have a great company culture which is essentially compiled of hiring a lot of graduates, throwing some money behind a bar every once in a while and putting on a free breakfast once a week. When it comes to any pressing issues, there is no HR (unless you count the CEO’s wife) and you are left feeling trapped with no one to express your concerns to other than your colleagues. The environment is toxic. For a company that preaches the importance of HR in the workplace, the mental health of their staff as a result of their incompetence is almost comical. Nothing is confidential, and information regarding pay, promotions and exit interviews are commonly shared within senior members of the organisation. You are made to feel small by the directors on the daily. Misogyny, belittling and rudeness are a daily occurrence on Teams calls. The roles itself was entirely dull and you will find yourself doing the same tasks day in, day out with little to no opportunity to give creative input on how to improve or change the daily running of things. The job has a shelf life of a year before you find yourself going insane with its repetitiveness. Overall, I haven’t met anyone that has had a positive experience within this company. The people that you meet and the shared negative experiences that hold you together are the only reason worth sticking it out for. Avoid at all costs.

Brilliant stepping stone role. Offers amazing exposure to senior level operations and global insights. Very nice people to work with in the company. Senior leadership listen and are open to new ideas. Nice office space. Really nice culture.

Lacks internal development opportunities. Unfair distribution of workload. Shrinking workforce. Low company morale. Slow promotion rate.
