Pros
- There were some genuinely talented and kind colleagues.
- Good exposure to major media outlets and the chance to learn under pressure.
Cons
The company is run by the CEO and her husband, who also oversees HR — a major conflict of interest. This structure makes it very difficult for staff to raise concerns or resolve grievances fairly.
- Bullying, intimidation, and shifting blame are common. Employees who question unrealistic demands or poor decisions often find themselves singled out by the CEO in a prolonged and systematic attack, upheld by the husband.
- Very high turnover, with many staff leaving or being exited before reaching two years of service, something they seem to know their way around very well.
- Repeated issues around transparency - both financially and operationally. Promises made to clients and staff are often unrealistic or misleading.
- Reports of grievances quietly disappearing without resolution.
- Increasing evidence that positive Glassdoor reviews are being edited or added to improve CEO ratings and mask genuine feedback.
Advice to jobseekers:
Flame PR may appear established, but internal practices tell a different story. The environment is high-stress, accountability is limited, and recent “positive” reviews should be treated with caution. Proceed carefully and seek independent feedback before joining.
