You only have to look at the fact they’ve now lost 5 members of their marketing management team (CMO included) in the last year to see there’s a major culture problem here.
Reporting into the CEO is being set up to fail from the get go, he forces you to execute his ideas, exactly how he wants them, on the timescale he decides. He takes no feedback or input from the experts he has hired, and then when it inevitably doesn’t work - you take the fall for it, never him. Or it’s brushed under the rug with no acknowledgement or apology.
To work at Trtl in marketing is to go against everything you know to be true and right about the discipline and throw it out the window, constantly fighting an uphill battle against management. The mood changes like the wind and with that timelines, strategy and common sense go to the wall.
HR is a waste of time, exists to be a puppet and or guard dog of the senior management team. They are not on the side of the team and seem to only upset people, insulting them with constant title changes and ‘pay rises’ of circa 50p a year.
Easily the worst job I’ve ever had.
P.s. forcing employees into a (frankly horrible) office 3 days per week and giving them 30 mins of flexi time in the morning isn’t a modern work environment.
