Avoid - Anonymous employee Foundations (UK) Employee Review

I don't see any positive in placing yourself on this companies radar.

This company is lead by a coward called Paul Smith. This 'man' attempts to groom young female employees, regularly finding any excuse to visit them at their home address. In a past case he even attempted to enter into a mortgage with a female employee! This goes beyond a little help from a 'friend', evidenced by him covertly recording employees, stalking social media accounts, and even in one case MOVING house to be next door to a female employee he was targeting at the time. I have no doubt that this disgusting 'man' belongs on a register, and that the only reason a female employee seems to have not been physically harmed yet is because he couldn't win an arm wrestle with a 6 year old. AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE THE DEVIL.

Remote working, relatively flexible working

Strong blame culture and very little transparency from leadership. Secretive management style and unprofessional environment that feels more like a school than a workplace. Favouritism and popularity determine recognition and opportunities rather than performance. Constant rollout of new AI tools and software with no proper training or time to learn them. Employees monitored (via video recording software on Teams) without clear communication or consent. No real HR structure; decisions are made informally behind employees’ backs. Expected to work beyond contracted hours and respond to messages after hours. Extra effort and dedication go unrecognised. Large pay gap between management and staff. Clear gender pay inequality. Job roles do not match what is advertised. Employees expected to cover admin, sales, finance, and project work for one salary. Heavy workload with low pay. High staff turnover for a reason
