My experience at this company was dominated by a culture of fear, excessive control, and deeply unprofessional management behaviour.
Leadership style at Director level consistently felt like bullying rather than guidance. Decisions were often delivered through intimidation, with little room for discussion, and disagreement was not welcomed. This created an atmosphere where employees stayed quiet to protect themselves rather than contribute ideas.
There was also a strong “cult-like” expectation that work should be your primary identity and priority above all else. Healthy boundaries were subtly discouraged, and employees who didn’t fully buy into the company’s “all in” mentality were made to feel like they didn’t belong.
Time monitoring was particularly intrusive. Software such as Time Doctor was used in a way that felt less about productivity and more about surveillance. This level of micromanagement signalled a lack of trust and added constant pressure to appear busy rather than focus on meaningful work.
I also witnessed managers openly shouting at younger and more junior staff in front of others. This was not handled privately or constructively — it was public, humiliating, and completely inappropriate for a professional environment.
Morale across teams was noticeably low. The office atmosphere was tense; people rarely smiled or laughed, and conversations often felt guarded. Many employees appeared anxious about making mistakes or being singled out. The overall feeling was not one of teamwork, but of people trying to avoid becoming the next target.
While the company may have ambitious goals, the internal culture made it a stressful and emotionally draining place to work.
