Inspired Thinking Group reviews about "benefit"

Laid off at 38 weeks pregnant, culture that expects you to work past normal business hours, underpaid, benefits were just okay

1-1s are for show, nothing comes from them "Culture of Kindness" is just a sham, many people are miserable Nepotism through the roof "share scheme" a con to get you to stay Many senior leaders have left 10 year service award was a box of brownies... Many managers have no idea what they were doing Since previous leadership left and CEO change the business has gone downhill Private investment company ruining what was a great place to work

Salaries are very low (some only slightly above minimum wage), especially for graduates, while workloads are high. No real career progression — management does little to support development. Taking annual leave often led to managers digging into your work, and you’d return to unnecessary performance meetings despite hitting all targets and timelines. Juniors are overworked while management contributes little of value. Recent layoffs are blamed on “globalization” and “offshoring,” but in reality it’s all about cutting costs by replacing talented staff with cheaper overseas labor. The company preaches “transparency” and a “culture of kindness,” but the reality is a culture of fear. Senior management doesn’t welcome challenge or feedback, and staff are afraid to speak up in case they’re next on the redundancy list. High-paid executives benefit while frontline employees are treated as disposable.

It’s a competitive environment to be recognised, but still isn’t impossible to progress

What was once a fast-paced, exciting start-up with huge growth potential, has sadly become another faceless, corporate stick-in-the-mud. It's a really tough job to take a previously vibrant and young company to the next stage and whilst the previous leadership made you feel welcome, wanted and valued, the new SLT is distant, not approachable and fails to understand the core company values. Perhaps it's to be expected during this transitional process, but practically doubling in size overnight due to acquisition, whilst simultaneously seeing the company founder exit the business has been a bridge too far for previously great culture to survive. If you join ITG now, you can expect average pay, a good benefits package, but long hours with no gratitude for what you are expected to give up. A friend who still works there told me that the CEO recently spoke about choosing to see working long hours as a privilege. I cannot agree, I've seen too many colleagues completely burn out and go to some really bad mental places, whilst working here. Such a sad thing to watch, when you've lived through the good times and have seen just what is possible.
