There was nothing good about working in that toxic environment

Minpunten

I am writing to formally express my concerns and dissatisfaction regarding the termination of my employment at With Intelligence. My short-lived experience with the company has left me disheartened, and I believe it is essential to bring certain matters to the publics attention. I joined With Intelligence on Monday, 20th November, with the expectation of a positive and supportive work environment. Unfortunately, my initial days at the London office were characterized by an overwhelming introduction to the software tools through extensive documentation. The reading material provided was cumbersome and, in my opinion, inappropriate for learning the nuances of the software efficiently. Throughout my first week, my manager assigned a task related to the software, which I found challenging to comprehend solely through written instructions. When seeking guidance, my manager provided assistance; however, the outcome did not meet his expectations. I am deeply concerned that my performance on this single task led to a premature decision to terminate my employment. Given that I had only been with the company for one week, I expected a certain level of understanding and support as I familiarized myself with the software and the overall work environment. Instead, I was met with a disproportionately harsh response, being informed of my termination over a single task. Furthermore, I found the office environment to be less than conducive to a positive working experience. Colleagues openly used inappropriate language, creating an uncomfortable and unprofessional atmosphere. Such behavior left me with a negative impression of the company culture. I firmly believe that a fair and inclusive workplace should provide employees with the necessary training and support, especially during the initial stages of employment. I feel unjustly treated and discriminated against for what appears to be a lack of understanding regarding the learning curve associated with a new role. I kindly request a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding my termination and a reconsideration of the decision. I believe that such actions will not only rectify an unfair situation but also contribute to the improvement of the overall work environment at With Intelligence.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, although it’s disappointing to read that you had a negative experience during your short time with us. We will of course consider your feedback for future apprentices to ensure their onboarding is comprehensive and they feel fully supported as a new starter. With Intelligence has a zero tolerance approach to discrimination in any form and we do not want any colleague or candidate to feel unwelcome or unsupported. With Intelligence is committed to creating a workplace culture where everyone is treated with respect. Our apprenticeship programs are one of the initiatives that we use to increase talent from diverse backgrounds and we work closely with providers to create genuine career opportunities throughout our business. However, on the rare occasion where behaviours and/or performance are not meeting the required standard we may need to make difficult decisions. It would not be appropriate to elaborate on personal matters in a public forum, but we have offered you a further meeting to discuss your experience and the opportunity of an investigation in accordance with our grievance policy. Our apprenticeship provider has also reached out to you several times. We do hope that you will respond to them, although this is optional.

Pluspunten

Coworkers were really nice. Healthy work-life balance. You can get compensated well if you fit the culture.

Minpunten

No upward mobility unless you curry favor with the right people. Everything depends on your relationships with the British men running the company at every level. All decisions get made from London, including benefits/HR for the ~100 employees in the US despite no one in London understanding private health insurance or 401k. The leadership team seems to genuinely care but is also incompetent, defensive, and extremely emotional. And no matter how good you are, you won't get a >3% raise unless you bring them a competing offer, which means even star employees feel unappreciated.
