IQ-EQ reviews

- Obsessed with growth to line the pockets of senior management to the detriment of all staff. - No progression, pay rises are linked to promotions and those are hard to come by. - Diversity & Inclusion is a tick-box exercise (which is years too late) and the firm does not care about its ethnic staff past putting faces on presentations and video slides. - Awful corporate culture without any structure but tries to market itself as a different type of firm, which to be fair is true. They're a lot worse. - Incompetent, ego-driven, out of touch managers who are given direct reports as a wage booster, rather than to actually develop junior staff which leads to uninspiring, unfulfilling relationships and a tonne of micro-managing. - Cliquey business where if you're not buddies with senior management, you're getting nowhere. - No moral integrity, lack of actual moral standing - the firm will always sway towards what is palatable. - Ethos, USP is all lip service with claims not really embedded or integrated within the culture of the firm. - High staff turnover, willingly understaffed to keep revenue high. - Repetitive, dull, uninspiring, unfulfilling work - mostly just admin. - Constant drive to just work, work, work with little reward and recognition so hard to actually enjoy your work or keep motivated. - Senior members of staff get away with bullying, discriminatory, offensive behaviour just because they are senior and/or fee-earning staff. - Low pay despite the high volumes of work you are asked to produce. - So-called colleagues who are obsessed with putting you in your place and throwing you under the bus to keep their good standing with awful managers and taking credit for your work. - Little respect or regard shown to junior staff - prepare to be barked at and treated like a second rate citizen by managers.
