Downtown location. Easily accessible. Great colleagues (most of them being abused or fired). Snacks and 5@7 are nice thoughts however don't make sense with the ambient disrespect and abusive behaviour.

A serious lack of respect from upper management. The constant pressure to make people work unpaid overtime. Flex hours meant nothing. No coherence with company's own policy. No support from HR. Disrespectful language in meetings, disrespectful comments about clients and vendors (insults were homophobic and misogynistic) Misogynist attitude in meetings (I don't need to know how beautiful or sexy a client is, or I also definitely don't need to know how beautiful accounting inspectors are...) Huge turnover (15+ people within a year for a company that has about 40 employees!) of highly qualified people is very challenging due to the changing workload. Micromanagement and aggressive language towards employees and vendors. No vision. No training. No coaching.

Great colleagues (but most are searching for the door)

A culture of overwork, I was told that I didn’t have too much work as I wasn’t visibly seen in the office 12 hours each day. A lack of consistent direction and goal posts often shifting. Tasks that were urgent one week were then completed but not used for weeks. Any attempt to raise this with management was met with anger. A lack of trust from management that you know how to do your job and will try your best to complete your job to the highest standard. Micromanagement abounds. No company credit card exists for booking travel/flights/rental car/hotel so employees must spend a large sum of money up front which is later reimbursed. At the end of my employment I was owed almost $3000 in expenses.
