Pros

Some lovely colleagues (lower in the organisation hierarchy) who truly endeavour to make a positive impact in the world

Cons

A toxic work environment, characterised by a 1950s style command-and-control leadership ethos. Employees are blamed for poor fiscal and overall management of the company, to scapegoat senior leaders (and a blatently incapable CEO) who are never held accountable. This company cares most about being seen to be doing good work for the world and yet treats people with a fundamental lack of respect. A significant turnover level and high proportion of people who have left on mental stress leave. This is not a healthy place to work, and has not signalled any intention or desire to change

Thank you for taking the time to provide the insights about your colleagues and the positive impact they endeavour to make through their work with the profession. As we go through a period of unprecedented change and digital transformation at RICS in response to the challenges COVID-19 has brought, how we work together to succeed is a top priority. Over the last year employee engagement has increased from 56% to 70%. Whilst there is always room for improvement, the wellbeing of our staff has been a core priority for our organisation’s response to the pandemic as we have moved to remote working. Providing feedback helps us to make the right decisions going forward as we endeavour to modernise the organisation and create a performance orientated culture.

Pros

Exposure to high level professionals in the property profession, annual professional development course, and good benefits package.

Cons

The local office leadership is lacking in a way that is detrimental to the success of the organization. There's a lack of direction, death by meetings - which usually ends with no further action being taken, the Managing Director's ego is inflated and he has yet to deliver on annual membership acquisition goals, male-centric US office environment, blatant bias, and a lack of transparency. Management is secretive and shady. Outdated software and poor technical support.
