Talent Point Reviews

There’s no getting around it, unfortunately: the two directors. While I’ve been able to turn a blind eye to their shortcomings during most of my time here, I don’t feel like that’s a stance I can take anymore. It is shameful to have anyone from your all-white team (and I would know, being one of it's all-white members) post reviews pretending to be an ethnic minority and deny the valid complaints of discrimination that have been brought to the surface. It’s a public showcase of the kind of behaviour encouraged at Talent Point. I'm disappointed in both the directors and the remaining team members who participate in this deceit. More importantly, I feel sorry for our ex-colleagues who've been let go and are now being discredited in this way. All I can do is echo what was been said before: Talent Point’s directors do not care about BAME employees, women, or anyone who doesn't "tick the box" of being a well-off Caucasian male. I've seen public displays of bigotry both within the office and during work "getaways", and it is not acceptable for them to both exhibit and allow such behaviour. They’ve also run the company into the ground, and given that its probably on its last legs, I suppose there’s not much left to say. But if you're reading this and considering working for them or with them - stay far away. There's no morality or money in this company.

I have to start with one of the CEOs. In my interview, he assured me any complaints about racism and inequality were taken seriously only to use the N-word in front of me the first time meeting him. He only apologised after I persistently made my discomfort known and my manager backed me. I heard him use the B-word in the office and felt on guard whenever he was speaking to female employees alone at social events. I feared for their safety for reasons I won’t disclose out of respect for my friends. As much as he says otherwise, he also has no desire to step away from the sales function and actually be a CEO. This is fine, but to hire a team under false pretences and block their career progression so he can remain hands-on with sales is a waste of everyone’s time. Because of this, he single-handedly destroyed a successful team who were bringing on substantial clients. He also tried to take credit for a number of my deals in our all-hands meetings and put my deals on hold so he could push his own ones through and pay me a minimal commission. He’s cancerous to the company and while his Co-CEO allows this because they’re “Best Friends” and the rest of the board enables him, Talent Point will never fulfil its potential. As I still have close friends (not as many after their mass redundancies) working there I really hope they get their act together.
