Jellycat reviews

Where do I start!! The atmosphere and culture here is horrific, it's the most toxic company I have ever worked for. The CEO has created an atmosphere of terror where management are scared to contradict his decisions or 'upset' him. This then filters down through all staff, leading to stressful last minute changes, a real feeling of never being good enough and discontent within the team. There is 0 progression and no chances to develop further - likely because of the above. You can't try something new with potential to fail because the CEOs will scream at management so they want it done themself to avoid this. The pressure to be perfect is enormous. On that, there is so much admin, likely due to archaic systems. Everything takes 10 times longer than it should and the work has been so dreadfully dull. I've seen team members go without promotions for 3 years, there is no process or development here. Hiring is also very slow, likely because the salaries do not reflect the expectation they are placing on people. Please look at other reviews of the company before applying, I can assure you it's 100% like this. I'm so glad I got out!

- Poor managers with very little people management experience - No communication or transparency from senior leadership - No employee appreciation - Very strange office atmosphere, not in line with company value of 'spreading Jellycat joy' - Low pay - Dull work - The grumpiest office manager you'll ever meet
