Needs Improvement - Anonymous Damar Training Employee Review

After reading a few negative reviews, I felt compelled to share an honest perspective. In my view, many of the criticisms are either misinformed or do not accurately reflect the reality of working at Damar. Damar has a relaxed and supportive atmosphere, particularly within the office. Comments about “cliques” do not reflect my experience. Everyone who joins the company is welcomed, and there is a genuine effort from colleagues to include and engage with one another. Naturally, those who actively join conversations may interact more frequently, but no one is ignored or treated differently. Having worked here for many years, I can confidently say this is one of the most welcoming companies I have been part of. I was also surprised to read allegations of unprofessional, illegal, or discriminatory behaviour. Discrimination of any kind is not tolerated and would be addressed immediately. The workplace is inclusive and accessible, and the culture does not allow for bullying, belittling, or micromanagement. Respect and professionalism are core expectations. The work–life balance is another real strength. The majority of staff work remotely, with only a small number working in a hybrid arrangement. Standard working hours are 9–5, with no expectation of starting early or finishing late. There is a clear boundary between work and personal time, which allows for a healthy balance and flexibility. Overall, my experience at Damar has been overwhelmingly positive.

There is not many, not the best salary but not the worst either. Lack of room for progression.

Cannot think of any unfortunately

Cliquey, unprofessional, a joke of a company to work for. Don’t expect to progress unless you’re best pals with Team leaders and the Manager. The staff members that have been at the company for years believe they can say and do just as they please, even if this is at best, unprofessional, at worst, illegal and/or discriminatory. There is no work / life balance, seeing as though team leaders can contact you and demand actions from you in the evenings or whenever they please. Cringeworthy training days, with naff slides, where favoured colleagues are applauded as employee of the month (possibly the ones who have written the positive reviews on this site) If you are considering a role here, I would run a mile.
