Focusrite Reviews

This company used to be a relatively flat hierarchical workplace with diversity of thought encouraged and risk taking the norm. Neurodiverse creatives partnered with smart system thinkers to power innovation. That was until the 2015 IPO. On that day the directors got rich and powerful (£2-5 million share payouts). These directors claim low salaries: but don’t be fooled. They’re millionaire directors with 20 year tenures of supreme power. They are un-shiftable gods keeping each other in power, in perpetuity. No one is going to fire these directors. They are part of the elite family club. A secret mafia of sorts. Join the company but realise no-one will ever flourish under these titans, some of whom have never worked in another company. The Chairman could change this. Why hasn’t he? That is a question everyone (including shareholders) should be often asking.

The company's growing but there's lack of organisation due to the turnover of staff. Staff turnover is high because the company is smashing targets, and building wealth for the shareholders, bragging about it but then salaries are low and remain low year on year. Lots of benefits have been stripped back over time, we're losing benefits more than we gain, despite the company being in a better position.
