Awful place to work - Producer FOG Media Employee Review

Quite a casual working environment.

Boss frequently flying around the office on a "hoverboard". Minimum wage pay for technical jobs. No benefits at all. Management sucks up to the boss, will not stand up for staff. Zero recognition for staff doing good work. Absolutely no interest in training staff, or using them to the best of their abilities. Not willing to listen to advice or input from staff, or even outside sources such as Google reps. No flexi-time, opening hours are set to suit the boss, staff don't have a say. Boss' children occasionally running rampant around the office, not exactly a quiet or focused place to work. Extremely hostile and negative environment, management always "looking over your shoulder". Every problem is always the staff's fault, even when we advised about it months ahead of time. No vision or want to create something original. Revolving door of staff. Extremely poor attitude towards staff in general. Boss flaunts his wealth as a millionaire casually in front of staff, whom he pays as little as legally possible. I was encouraged to pirate software at work so they wouldn't have to buy licenses. No possibility of career progression. No pay rises or promotions.

Casual office atmosphere, staff members, flexible with holiday booking

Management is completely adverse to both suggestions and ideas. The company was built from a lucky idea and so every industry is now understood, apparently. The wages are AWFUL. You are seen as a head sat at a desk and not valued what so ever, you are disposable to the point were you would fear being sacked if you voiced displeasure. Management doesn't care about any member of staff. Management isn't on your side but will pretend to be. The office is highly inadequate and has holes, protruding wires, door handles missing. Equipment is years old and out of date. There are ZERO procedures in place and everything is demanded ad-hoc on whims. Often family members of management are in the office and this includes young children running around making noise There are no reviews in place. There are no pay rises in place. There is no room for learning or personal development. No ideas are allowed, they're ignored. You will be given a task, do the task, then when is reviewed it will be changed and you will be the one who did it wrong despite doing what was told. No creativity allowed.
