ION Group reviews

This Company is completely broken. Despite the best efforts of the staff to improve morale and processes, everything is overshadowed by the poor leadership of the CEO. He is a control freak, needing to approve the smallest of business decisions. There is no trust in managers to make decisions affecting their teams. The result is that nothing is agreed because he doesn't have time to review it all. Turnover is very high, leavers aren't replaced, staff are expected to take on additional work with no reward. Pay is below average and there are no bonuses. The CEO is a horrible man, interested only in lining his own pockets. He shouts at staff, threatens everyone with the sack if he doesn't get his own way. On New Years Eve a bunch of staff were made redundant without warning. Senior Managers are either afraid to challenge him or mini versions of him. They have set up this new Glassdoor page because the old one had too many bad reviews, they are actively encouraging the graduates to write good reviews. The Graduates are basically running the company, incompetent through lack of experience but given full responsibility and glory at the expence of older workers. In the recent lay offs, anyone over the age of 50 was targeted which reinforces their attitude. Steer clear.

They renamed the Company to avoid the bad reviews - check out ION Trading - same Company, slightly different name - same terrible reviews! Terrible CEO, on New Year's Eve let a bunch of colleagues go by text - most were over the age of 50. The CEO only allows women to work here if they're pretty and young. Allows the company to be run by inexperienced, privileged graduates. No one has had a bonus and commissions are being withheld with no explanation. Don't work here!!
