This job Almost Killed me!!!!!!!! Literally!!!!! - Anonymous employee Lead Forensics Employee Review

Hello, Thanks for taking the time to leave the review. This is difficult to respond to as you haven’t detailed what department you worked for. To address your points. 1. High pressure. Lead Forensics is an ambitious company with goals to achieve. Every person in the business is accountable for their own performance and by every person performing, the company achieves its goal of helping our clients expand their businesses and become more successful. If there is under performance, we do work with those individuals to help further coach them to get them on track. Our environment does have a level of pressure to it, but no more than any of the other ambitious company. 2. I’m unsure of the department that you work in so it is difficult to comment on the hours you worked. What I can say is that the vast majority of the team members that work within Lead Forensics days finish at 5:30pm. It is rare that any member of the team is in the office past 6pm. Very often senior management will be in the office past 6pm, but in terms of non-management team members, it is rare to see people in the office past 6pm (unless they are part of the UK team working US hours which means they start much later in the day). I do know that a number of team members will come in the office early in order to train and prepare for the day ahead, however, this isn’t unlike many other companies. 3. In terms of the HR department you may not be aware depending on when you left but we are currently in the process of recruiting a Global head of HR and then bring on further HR team members. 4. You are entitled to your thoughts about our CEO Paul Thomas, but this is not mine or my colleague’s experience of how he represents himself. 5. Finally, in terms of caring for the team members, Lead Forensics take great pride in taking care of the team. It is clear you worked in the Portsmouth office and just to remind you of the some of the ways we take care of the team. Onsite gym. Weekly circuit training for all team members. Weekly yoga class for all team members. Social events throughout the year including sports day, family day, Cowes week, dodgeball, pub quiz, Christmas party, sailing regatta etc. On top of this we have weekly all company meetings to celebrate team members performance, quarterly all company meetings to share company performance and celebrate winners, etc. Kind regards Henry, COO
