Unfortunately the reality of what was offered in the job interview is far from what you experience working at Amicus. Benefits such as, flexible working and work from home days are not welcomed. There is awful leadership from Directors/Founders within the business including: micromanagement, daily checks on phone times, praising overworking, being told 'it's not wise' to leave at 5.30pm, encouraging burn out and constant comparison to other consultants. There is little to no communication throughout the company, and often consultants aren't consulted on serious decisions that would affect your day to day work. The lack of communication and whispers between top level management create a terrible work place culture. Scare tactics are used to ensure you get your head down and stay later than your working hours. Therefore, consultants don't want to speak out and give feedback as they are scared of the repercussions.
