If I could give zero stars I would - werkgeversreview Researcher bij Right Angles

The money is good - but only if he decides to pay you.

Twice bankrupt Paul Blanchard claims to have offices in New York, Los Angeles and London. These claims are exaggerated. In reality, he has a PO box in LA, a shady accountant in New York (where the company is registered, conveniently stripping you of any rights under UK law) and everyone else (mainly young, inexperienced women) works remotely, at whatever members' club or hotdesking hub he hasn't been turfed out of. He has no employees - all are freelance. Google him and look at his liquidated businesses on Companies House - it's all there. He lowered and reinstated salaries at will to control people, and owes many former workers money. He criticised people's work when no criticism was warranted, and pitted team members against one another to create an atmosphere of mistrust. He regularly made racist, anti-Semitic, homophobic and ableist comments without shame while his complicit minions discouraged anyone from complaining about it. If you take a job here, say hello to working 12+ hours a day, bullying, inappropriate comments, gaslighting, and being constantly available on Slack – and goodbye to lunch breaks, a reliable income, job satisfaction and any kind of life outside of work. He will make grand promises and not deliver - this applies to clients too, only when they start to complain he will blame you. Good luck taking him to court for your unpaid invoices, as he has about as much respect for the courts as he does for people's boundaries. In short: Right Angles is a highly toxic workplace and you should do everything you can not to end up here.

Pays more than the average PR role, but that's to keep you from leaving

insanely abusive culture you will be expected to tolerate being humiliated in front of the whole team and shouted at and called useless and expected to work around the clock. I worked 8.30am to 8pm most days and was told i was being fired for not doing enough. You'll be yelled at for spelling mistakes or errors in meeting documents and routinely threatened with being fired. Management lies about you and the team and complains about you to cover their backs takes credit for your work and is completely believed as CEO isnt in the office. Disciplinaries are weekly and team anxiety is really high. Saw multiple normal people have mental breakdowns. Always losing clients and staff every month. You wont be hired so he can get around constructive dismissal and workplace bullying and tax. Hires young women because they will take more abuse from him and are eyecandy for clients. DO NOT work here.
