- Toxic environment, with lots of politics.
- CMDs are way, way out of their depth for the responsibilities they have. They lack the people or leaderships skills to effectively manage the teams. Huge micromanaging culture.
- SLT have no interest actually listening to their employees. It's a closed off shop, apart from a very few.
- HR team are terrible.
- The staff seem to be treated as cattle rather than people. The values the agency preaches are not met with the reality of how the company operates.
- Lack of real support. Working all hours under the sun is just expected, and isn't appreciated. Results in people highly stressed/anxious, but there's no appetite to change this.
- The office culture is dead. The whole vibe of the agency feels very soulless.
It's sad to see how many people have Stockholm syndrome within the agency - the irony is a lot of people feel so beaten down or lack confidence from working there, there's anxiety about being able to work somewhere else. It's alarming how many people are in that camp.
