As soon as you walk in the office you can feel the life escaping from your body. There is no personality here. There are so many empty desks the office always looks dead. The CEO bad mouths clients, potential clients and investors in front of employees. He has no business acumen. Fiddling with numbers at sales stage to desperately win projects without consulting the team to find out if its even achievable. It is embarrassing how little he cares for his staff. All talent has left this business. Middle management do not have a clue what they are doing, both in terms of industry knowledge and people management. They are only in their position because everyone with talent has left and the company cannot recruit fast enough. Clients are unhappy. They do not see any value from the agency. Even new projects are retention risks.

Systemic issues in company culture start at the top. Vain senior management duo place more interested in self-promotion and the use of internal PR to distract from obvious employee dissatisfaction across the business. Individual staff left to their own devices, in a 'lone-wolf' environment where collaboration is an afterthought. Sales & Business Development functions repeatedly over promise to clients and lead a blame culture where delivery teams are blasted for the failures of the management team to implement proper procedures. Duties almost exclusively focus on resolving problems of other people's making, repetitive boring tasks and using broken Excel spreadsheets. Limited opportunity to develop professionally. Widespread organisational reliance on bamboozlment of people with circular conversations, buzzwords, meaningless metaphors and hyperbole inflicted on staff from management, and on clients from staff. A straight answer can be hard to come by. Staff turnover extremely high for a company of its size. Rapid, unsustainable, growth has coincided with departures of some of the business' most experienced and knowledgeable staff. Mediocre benefits package does not make up for below-market salaries and the regular crises & disastrous handling of routine procedures.
