11:FS Reviews

Many of the opportunity 11FS has have been squandered due to exec in-fighting and politics. Huge egos and sense of entitlement means that 11FS interests were consistently put above those of its clients and customers. The culture was toxic and more value placed on you wearing the merch than living the values. The most important thing I learnt at 11FS was what time of company I didn’t want to work in and what type of leader I didn’t want to be.

When I joined the company was small but promising, there was a lot of enthusiasm, some great projects and some good buzz around the business. In the past year this has all changed. Bad management, dodgy hires and a cocky, out of touch CEO has turned this place in to a toxic cult. First of all there is the RAMPANT favouritism. Inexperienced staff have been catapulted to senior management positions simply because they are yes men/women. This has caused countless issues within the wider team and the CEO has just ignored and fired those who question him. Furloughs and redundancies were expected but the way it was handled was shocking. People were let go because they weren't liked by their managers. That is a fact. It had nothing to do with whose role was 'needed' it was favouritism. The process was messy and badly handled by HR and every single exec involved. Just know that if they survive this and you get a job offer in the future - remember how they handled loyal staff of 3+ years - they WILL do this to you too. There are hundreds of better startups and consultancies out there, don't waste your time here it's a sinking ship.
