A toxic, old-fashioned culture dressed up as PR. Avoid. - Recensione dipendente - Senior Account Manager presso AxiCom

This company is absolutely disgusting in how it treats people and presents itself. In my experience, favouritism and nepotism shape who gets opportunities, while juniors carry the workload for very little recognition. Senior staff are often disengaged. Juniors stay late and fix the work, seniors collect the credit. I witnessed classist comments and behaviour that marginalised people from working class backgrounds. I also saw racially biased behaviour, including token use of staff in client materials and exclusion from meaningful opportunities. When concerns were raised, the person who spoke up was positioned as the problem. The bullying is subtle at first, then isolating, and it works. Leadership talk a good game about mental health and inclusion on LinkedIn. Inside the building it feels like theatre. You raise a wellbeing concern in a meeting, then walk out to an email assigning more work to you. You are told how you should feel and what you should say. It is manipulative and dehumanising. During my time, clients left and budgets tightened. Rather than fix culture or workload, leadership created new senior titles and hired at the top while pay and progression for the people doing the work stagnated. Several new joiners told me they regretted accepting the offer within weeks. There were also blurred lines and conflicts of interest between senior and junior staff that were widely known and not addressed. It destroys trust and corrodes any sense of merit.
