Toxic culture with serious diversity and inclusion issues
Pros
Working from home. This helps reduce daily exposure to a toxic internal culture.
Cons
There are significant and ongoing issues around diversity and inclusion at senior levels. Leadership and board composition lack meaningful representation, with very limited diversity and a noticeable absence of women in decision-making roles. • Despite strong external messaging around values and inclusion, the internal reality does not reflect this. DEI initiatives feel performative rather than embedded in accountability or leadership behaviour. • Culture is hierarchical and political, with progression often driven by informal networks rather than transparent, merit-based processes. • Speaking up is not psychologically safe. Challenging the status quo is discouraged, and concerns are frequently minimised rather than addressed. • High levels of disengagement and turnover are treated as normal rather than as warning signs.
