Good place to work - Accountant Bishop Fleming Employee Review

Some genuinely great people, and work/life balance and flexibility are generally good, though at times you will be expected to work overtime. Quite a few social opportunities to get involved in and room for growth overtime.

Colleagues have been made redundant with a shocking lack of professionalism or empathy. The behaviour from partners and leadership has been a rude awakening - the firm doesn’t care anymore about its people. Communication has been nonexistent. Staff are left to discover colleagues have gone only after the fact, while we're being told not to ask any questions and to carry on as 'normal' Meanwhile, workloads increase due to budget cuts and constant scrutiny from leadership, with no additional support for those left picking up the slack. MP and leadership seem incapable of admitting their mistakes, so the rest of the firm ends up paying the price instead. Redundancies are dismissed as ‘just change,’ which feels utterly tone-deaf in this climate. Given the uncertainty and stress being created across the business, the firm’s refusal to acknowledge the obvious systemic issues being faced is completely eroding trust in leadership.

Social events and get together. Option to work from home. Free car parking in Exeter office.

Lack of support from higher end and they expect so much. No additional training for those who are keen. Lack of compensation and no real perks.
