Perrett Laver reviews about "team"

It could be quite boring.

Working against deadlines is not for everyone but it is not as stressful as some think it is. You have to be dedicated and truly care about the sector to achieve good results.

Management absolutely do not care about their employees - there is no training/guidance, and because everyone is so overworked there is no one with a spare moment for you to ask for help, and then you are scolded like a child for making mistakes. Whilst some members of management were kind and polite, many were rude, condescending and disrespectful. When concerns are raised by entry-level employees who are overwhelmed with stress, these are disregarded and treated with contempt. Personally, I have never felt so low but also so stressed in my professional career. They do not care about their employees at all. There is no work life balance and also very limited scope for career progression.

Not Applicable for this organisation. Basic research job.

Overworked, these people have unrealistic expectations and will work you into the ground then replace you with someone else who they will work into the ground. I wouldn’t advise joining this company. I have never felt stress or anxiety to this degree, and I feel if I work here for much longer I will compromise my mental health. Workers here across all teams have to work consistently into the night. 7.30pm 8.30pm. A part of me has forgotten what it is like to have a life outside of work with many of my personal relationships suffering as a result.

- tech outdated, tech department is helpless, and little company support if you have issues - no salary progression, not even inflation bumps. someone exceptional that I know worked for 4 years without any raise at all - with that, no career progression. as a researcher you might move up to senior researcher but the salary increase is 2% and the nature of the work is exactly the same - if you’re good at your job, they will overwhelm you to the point where you are drowning and you will be put on the trickiest and most uninteresting projects - DEI does not exist here despite it being in the core values. the company does not recognize any other religious holidays except christmas, and there’s also a drinking culture, which is contrary to some persons religious beliefs. senior leadership is all male and european. some few women in power but also british. - business is in financial trouble, massive layoffs and firings across the world - some consultants are on a power trip and will belittle you despite them not being your boss - HR does not exist. the company truly, really, flat out lies about your benefits so read them very closely. there is no HR person and everything goes through the COO, who is massively incompetent and highly unqualified to meet the overwhelming demands of her job. - no focus on career progression and development. they cycle through people rather than training and retaining. in my team alone, 4 people left or quit in 4 months. - if they tell you at interview that you will receive a company pension, make sure it’s in your contract. otherwise you will not receive a dime. i know 8 colleagues now who have been lied to. - favouritism is big here. if you don’t do the bidding of the partners to your core, you won’t be so lucky. - company spends its limited budget on unnecessary travel for the consultants who clearly just want an excuse to vacation - the employee owned trust payout is nonexistent. i only made 20$ the whole time i worked here on this. the bonus is also nonexistent, i was promised about 10k during the interview and received 1300$ after tax. you also don’t get your bonus until the payout period. it goes calendar year, so if you worked jan-dec for your bonus, you won’t see it until the payout which last year was late and in august. if you quit before august, no bonus.

Overworked with too much on everyone’s plate, making it nearly impossible to take real vacation time.

Poor management problem and staff retention… much to be desired from PR too

No real pathway for career growth, unclear about pay-rises and promotions
