It's amazing the CEO is responding to these reviews claiming they are malicious when only facts have been stated. The truth may hurt but it is merely a statement of reality, for everyone's benefit, and never malicious. They also imply (arguably maliciously, in a vain attempt to save face) these reviews may not be written by former employees yet they all provide information only a former or current staff members would know. But I'll stop short of publicly listing who got who in the secret Santa... And as for claiming to be friendly and welcoming, any CVs sent in are immediately deleted 'in case there's a virus in the attachment.'. And money is wasted on contacting solicitors to ask if action can be taken against anonymous factual reviews on sites like this. This is a company so ineptly and egotistically run, it will not exist in a few months. All new hires have already been laid off and the blinkered intransigence of its CEO prevents those left from doing their jobs effectively. The ice-berg has been struck, the ship is sinking. No one can safely express an opinion, speaking your mind is dangerous. Only the submissive can work for the CEO who will, whether she knows she's doing it or it, get rid of any employee whom she can not control. Employees are now being threatened with disciplinary action if they mention the company's financial struggles at interviews for other positions! There is no trust, she will hire experienced employees and then demand they work in the office every day, even if it means throwing away hundreds of pounds on taxis and hotels when train strikes happen. One employee from Bath was asked if they could get a train to Reading then get a taxi to and from the office on a train strike day. The expense of this alone to the company was likely more than the employee's weekly salary! Logic is sadly something this CEO can't see. 'Phone is King in sales' she says. But now as the company dies and the only way to save it is to get investors onboard, is she picking up the phone? I doubt it.
