Great product but toxic environment and terrible management - Sales Flash Pack Employee Review

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and concerns. First and foremost, I’m deeply saddened to hear your comments and thank you for the opportunity to publicly address the issues you’ve raised. The experience of being released from a company is understandably devastating no matter the conditions and I’m sorry you feel hurt. We are a very high-growth startup and our environment isn’t one in which everyone can flourish but we work hard to ensure we give everyone the best chance possible - demonstrated by the fact that it takes us on average 8 months to make the decision to release someone and only once we feel we have exhausted all avenues. Our recent independently verified Flexa score does not reflect your sentiments: > 77% of staff recently said they have work-life balance which is an incredible achievement for a high-growth company. Where we have identified a small number of people struggling with their workload we have supported them to re-prioritise. > 96% of staff said they had complete autonomy over getting their work done > 93% said they felt flexible working is part of the culture at Flash Pack > 88% of staff very happy with the flexibility in the hours they work PROMOTIONS: We review progression of 6 months. Last summer 33% of employees were promoted. Last week 32% of the team were promoted including: 67% Female (33% male) 39% from minority groups Diversity and Inclusion: I fervently disagree with your comments on our DE&I Initiatives. We have worked tirelessly to ensure: > No gender and ethnicity pay gaps exist at Flash Pack due to our trailblazing transparent pay policy > We pay generous sick leave allowance, make work-place adjustments for our employees who have declared a disability > We allow employees to work from abroad to accommodate personal life a number of employees with disabilities have been supported to promotion. There is always more to do and we acknowledge there are limits to how much support we can give especially when there is an issue of consistent underperformance. But our stats speak to how hard we have worked and dedication to creating an inclusive workplace for all. Of 78 staff across the globe: > 40% identify as BAME > 4% have declared a disability > 60% female workforce, 34% male and 2% other > 60% of the leadership team are female and 17% BAME We are very proud of the workplace culture we have created.
