Employee Review

      Toxic work environment

      Administration Assistant
      Former Employee, more than 1 year
      Recommend
      CEO Approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Can’t think of any plus points.

      Cons

      Misogynistic, sexist and work environment, culture of bullying, unrealistic expectations and aggressive management. Only female staff who are viewed as an object of desire are treated with favour (and yet still disrespected) by the predominantly male staff. Ageism also exists - the only PA aged 40+ was forced out of the company despite all her years experience because she was viewed as being of less value, even though she worked harder and for longer hours than the others, aware of the disadvantage and prejudice against her. Men who work there think they’re in Wolf of Wall Street and will behave inappropriately with female members of staff when they get them alone / think no one is looking and at staff socials/events. I had been expected to stay back and work late (unpaid) but I haven’t felt safe to do so. I was bullied and harassed by my manager and colleagues who spied on me, asked others for information about me and was verbally abusive and aggressive to me - it was a campaign against me that continued for months and created such a stressful environment. Sought support from HR who gaslighted me and the information was used against me and I was intimidated for speaking out.

          Intern Investment Management
          Current Employee, less than 1 year
          London, England
          Recommend
          CEO Approval
          Business Outlook

          Pros

          Very flat management structure with good exposure to key decision makers. Brilliant culture that fosters an open and collegiate atmosphere. Excellent formal training and exposure to deal processes which isn’t available elsewhere Really great employees who clearly all enjoy working together and are happy to help one another. Brilliant firm for someone looking to work in private equity, the deal flow is huge and there is masses of experience across all major sectors. Deal size and structure also vary massively which is good for someone looking for a varied experience.

          Cons

          None to think as of yet.

        I had an interview late August, sent a thank you the same day, followed up when they said they would get back to me, and then again a week later and I got no response. I gave up and they just sent me an email saying the position was on hold and they hoped to have an update at the end of the week. I'd still like to see what they might offer me so what could I say in response?

        Have you ever been asked by a recruiter to sign an nda before they can speak to you about a job they're recruiting you for? Mind you they reached out to me

        I just got an email from Norton that someone ran a reputation report on me. I didn’t run it. I just finished a second round interview yesterday. Do you think it’s HR doing due diligence or a scammer? Is running reputation reports common practice?
