Bastion Reviews

Bastion Effect is a very inefficient company that does not offer its employees any support. They expect long hours and seem to thrive on drama. Teamwork is not in their vocabulary and everything down to their offerings is lip service. The highest turn-over in the business. Bastion EBA will work all employees to the bone. Since switching leadership this has only gotten worse. They create beautiful work at a high cost to employees. The 2nd highest turnover. Bastion Collective does a lot of buying and selling of businesses. Any business is expendable just like their employees. HR does very little for employee wellness and their interests are focused on the bottom line of the business.

The separate businesses within the Collective aren't cohesive whatsoever, in fact, they can be quite cliquey and competitive. Work culture is terrible; employees are over-worked and under-compensated unless they're upper management. There is essentially zero HR; staff turnover is high, and redundancies are made left, right and centre without the blink of an eye. Employees are seen as dispensable and employee feedback is taken into zero consideration. An entire business was made redundant in a single day without warning. Another colleague was made redundant through a meeting that was scheduled 1 hour prior with the title *Client* WIP, so she was completely blindsided, her visa was cancelled and she had to leave the country. There are countless stories like this. During my short time there, I must have seen over 60 staff members disappear. I'm now in a new company and cannot express how appreciative I am to be there. I've already been promoted and given a pay rise, and am flourishing in my career. We're paid fairly, receive training and support, have full transparency and clear communication from the wider business, and actually live up to our values.
