Pros

Besides occasionally working from home there are none.

Cons

There is a persistent pattern of workplace bullying, along with highly unprofessional and incompetent leadership. Management demonstrates a serious lack of expertise, characterized by excessive control and a lack of trust in employees. In practice, employees are discouraged from taking breaks, and overtime work is expected as the norm without proper compensation. The overall work environment is extremely toxic. While there are a few professional individuals, the majority of the team operates within a culture of rivalry, ill intent, and unhealthy interpersonal dynamics. Career progression and treatment by certain managers appear to depend on favoritism and personal alignment rather than performance and competence. Management fails to recognize individual potential and lacks the ability to develop, guide, or strategically utilize employees’ strengths for their professional growth or for the benefit of the organization. At the same time, expectations regarding workload and performance are extremely high, despite inadequate and comparatively low compensation.

Pros

I am not sure why Ivy Exec has gotten some 'not so great' reviews. I guess if some people don't get exactly what they want, they get upset and leave a bad review. I have been at Ivy Exec for the past 4 years (longer than any other company I have worked for) and LOVE it here. The work/life balance is fantastic, the management team are always there for you, we always have fun company outings. I have been offered several offers at other companies since I've been here with much higher salaries and declined the offers, because I'm happy here. I really enjoy working at Ivy Exec and am quite certain the other employees are happy too. We have Free lunch on Fridays and no one 'micro-manages' you. They just expect you to do your work. If you don't feel well and would prefer to work from home that day, you have the option to do so. Very casual company, we do have targets to meet, but its work and what we get paid for. I'm very surprised from the other reviews and I'm always one to complain - so take my word for it, from the various companies I have worked for, this is by far the one I have enjoyed working for the most.

Cons

The team is growing and growing and a bigger office space would be great.
