      Pros

      Allen Lane is a great place to work. The work is hard but they usually treat you well and pay is good. They do lots of great events and promotions.

      Cons

      The company doesnt do anything to stop inappropriate behaviour on events and encourages heavy drinking. As an example, at our recent Christmas Party in Megeve in the french alps, a senior member of staff groped me and made a crude suggestion. I was shocked and upset as I thought he was a decent person until then. I told a friend about it the next morning and she said not to say anything as he was drunk and nobody would believe me, and I would probably be forced out of the company rather than them doing anything about him. I have not felt able to tell anyone but I cant afford to leave the company so have to put up with working with this person. I am posting this anonymously and not naming the individual but people need to know about this culture before being taken in by the glamour of the great events the company runs.

      We are very concerned to hear of this behaviour described which is deplorable and will not be tolerated at Allen Lane. We have launched an investigation and made clear we will support the person who has made this allegation wholeheartedly, and get to the bottom of it. All employees are expected to comply with our Bullying, Harassment and Discrimination Policy and we have clear processes in place for our team members to raise concerns in confidence.

      Pros

      I really enjoyed my time at Allen Lane. Being trained on their grad scheme we were shown the ropes through a detailed and well planned course, and then rapidly given the freedom to apply ourselves to the role. During my time at Allen Lane I was given the opportunity to move team, allowing me to explore different areas and learn about the wider public sector. I would describe the culture as friendly and supportive with leadership happy to help with anything you need a hand with and colleagues keen to work collaboratively. We had external professionals come in and provide training and on the whole there is a culture continuous improvement.

      Cons

      There are no glaring cons to working at Allen Lane in my mind.

      Pros

      It’s hard to find any

      Cons

      Giving one star because I have to but couldn’t recommend this place less. Very toxic and unprofessional No company culture no one speaks in the office. Days feel like years working here and years feel like a waste of your time and career.
