It used to have an amazing culture but it is no longer the same... (join at your own risk)

Account manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Team mates were great to work with.. but with the recent hire of a new manager the culture became really toxic (biased manager, talks down to employees, not receptive to feedback, smiles in your face but badmouths you to your team mates), which is why most AMs are leaving. They have some amazing and passionate people in middle management but the poor management of their HR processes and unfair practices were very evident when they let go of team members without valid or clear reasons.

Cons

Low compensation (way below competitors) Management is not receptive to feedback and protects their Managers even when poor decisions were made, which makes us feel unheard and resulted in the really high turnover recently. Slow career progression

Business Outlook

Pros

Fantastic energy - incredibly bright, talented focused teams People genuinely care and support each other within teams Amazing brand loyalty - people are big advocates for the brand

Cons

Toxic executive environment No consistency or continuity - lack of clear strategy to support growth Profligacy in the extreme and lack of strategy leading to some terrible business decisions and investments. The business needs to grow up and instead of hiring adults who challenge the juvenile status quo and are then exited, allow them to bring their experience to bear and actually improve things. A CEO who (on considerable evidence) can’t galvanise or inspire a team has run his course.....
