Looks great from outside, reality is different. - Anonymous employee Goodman Masson Employee Review

Alcohol fuelled culture where you are pressurised to participate in team bonding and there are so many little 'cliques' within the team that it doesn't feel natural or enjoyable. The many awards and list of benefits will reel you in no doubt but as soon as you are in, the reality of team politics will kick in and it is simply not a good environment to work in. I loved it at the start and was told at every 121 that my performance is great and then suddenly was dropped from the team without warning or a chance to improve (despite having a 121 a week or so ago where no concerns were raised and I was only praised). No mistakes were made, no projects messed up - simple discrimination due to not fitting in culturally potentially. Looking back, I can have a much better view that I did have a good start and it was very organised in terms of having business cards and desk ready to go and the perks are good when you are new to them but overall the cons definitely outweighed the pros for me and an unfair dismissal left a bad taste in my mouth. I was also forwarded an email after my dismissal and my manager had bad mouthed me to the whole company which I felt was unfair but it is what it is.
