Ingeus reviews about "colleague"

Some area to improve on

The company focuses on KPIs more than employees.

Quite an unprofessional environment, in different ways: - Misogyny (managers and colleagues) openly make misogynistic remarks indirectly and directly to female members of staff - inappropriately personal discussions in staff common area - Managers could be more supportive.

You're only as valuable as last months targets

Targets and implementation of strategies.

Heavy focus on KPIs and outcomes which can feel very counterintuitive in an environment that's so people focused. Everyone is different and boxing objectives into rigid templates doesn't tell the full story. Advisors will manage 70–80+ clients, making it hard to give deep support and provide your full commitment and ability to the job. Micromanagement can creep in at times and feel unnecessary. Management inconsistency as managers seem to pick favourites, allowing for leniency in the rules and behaviour between colleagues. Alienating and creating a cliquey, high school type environment at times. Career growth can be unclear or dependent on internal politics making it hard to trust the company.

Very little concern for staff wellbeing. Rampant bullying and a "face fits" culture. Active discrimination against employees with disabilities; they will on paper appear to support and care for their disabled staff - this is false. When you challenge them, discrimination suddenly is hidden behind miscommunication. One occasion a senior male member of staff told me I had to consider my managers wellbeing before mentioning my deceased daughters name. Extremely offensive and rude. Never an apology. Senior Colleagues in Teams sharing laughing emojis when sharing professional audits. My favourite memory was when I was told off by management because they had forgotten to book my daughters first birth/death anniversary. I think that shows very much the type of people within the company, and is worrying to think they are assessing vulnerable people. Half the management are brutes, the other half are too busy following them around to care.
