Burnout Disguised as Growth

Recommend
Business Outlook

Pros

The company genuinely takes diversity and inclusion seriously

Cons

Unfortunately, the overall culture leaves much to be desired, especially following private equity ownership. There is a strong pattern of finger-pointing and deflecting responsibility, despite "accountability" being a core value. Employee feedback rarely leads to meaningful change. High-performing employees often find their workloads increasing without corresponding recognition or support. Since the company came under aggressive PE ownership, the culture has shifted drastically—growth targets appear disconnected from current market conditions, yet leadership remains unwilling to acknowledge this. Management are really out of touch with the sales teams - Morale is low due to a management style that favors pressure over encouragement, and micromanagement has become increasingly common. What’s labeled as a "high performance" culture often feels more like burnout.

Thank you for sharing your perspective and for acknowledging our commitment to diversity and inclusion. We’re proud that this continues to be an important part of our culture. We also want to recognise and thank you for your candid feedback on the challenges you’ve experienced. We understand your concerns around workload, leadership style, recognition, and morale, and we take them very seriously. Hearing that aspects of our culture have not aligned with our values of accountability, support, and high performance is important feedback for us to reflect on. Your advice on listening more closely to employees and focusing on sustainable growth, constructive leadership, and engagement resonates strongly. We are committed to working on these areas and to building a culture where our people feel motivated, valued, and supported. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience and for helping us identify where we can do better.

Pros

Freedom to work from home ok helpful colleagues

Cons

A manager with poor market knowledge, forcing results by gaslighting employees without knowledge, does not care about the employees' welfare. Lower benefits compared to other PRAs. Cost-cutting measures and reducing employees' benefits in order to achieve 2030 budget-cutting goal. Outsourcing and restructuring whenever cost makes sense Most of the courses are for the London office.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're pleased to hear you appreciate the flexibility of working from home and the support of your colleagues — both are central to our working culture. We’re sorry to hear your concerns regarding management and benefits. Leadership development and employee wellbeing are priorities for us, and we take feedback like this seriously. To better understand where we’re doing well and where there’s room for improvement, we’ve recently introduced regular pulse surveys. These surveys help us listen more closely to our teams and take targeted action where needed. We’d also like to clarify that our benefits have not been reduced. In fact, we’ve improved our benefits across all the countries we operate in as part of our commitment to supporting our employees and remaining competitive in the market. We understand the importance of accessible development opportunities and are working to expand learning resources beyond the London office so all employees have equal access, no matter where they're based. Thank you again for your feedback — it’s important to us and helps shape our ongoing efforts to create a better workplace for everyone.
