APS Intelligence Reviews

- Toxic management behaviours bordering on psychological abuse. Bullying, targeted harassment, frequent aggressive messages outside of work hours, excessive criticism. Employees reduced to tears on more than one occasion. - Chronically under-resourced, likely due to extremely high employee turnover (many leave after <1 year). Overwhelming workloads as a result. - High challenge, low support. - Employees regularly required to work 60-80 hour weeks with no additional pay or TOIL, including early mornings, late nights, and weekends. - Calls with employees, freelance contractors, and current and prospective clients frequently recorded without consent. - Management extremely resistant to feedback. Culture of blame and fear prevents employees from speaking up, even after leaving the company. - Clear misogyny from men in high-ranking management positions towards lower-ranking women.

- Very transactional leadership which uses their staff without caring about them, - Leadership constantly looks at how to overload their staff, - Staff do not get support or training but get constantly overloaded with new pieces of work, - Constant calls and emails past 6 pm and constant pressure from Leadership to work past 6 pm (I personally worked overnight more than once), - Very vague definition of success and the goal post is constantly moved, - Leadership overworks staff and does not practice what they preach in their diversity, psychology and mindfulness workshops in fostering a healthy company culture, - Toxic culture where Leadership has on more than one occasion left staff in tears, - Staff occasionally deliver and hear some overwhelming points in sessions and are not offered any psychological safety or support post session, - Massive churn in staff (staff do not stay long), - Leadership is overly focused on money and there is no care regarding staff mental health (many sessions have ended with staff in tears without support),
