Avoid UK Acquisition too damaging for your mental health. - Recensione dipendente - Account Executive presso Indeed

There are limited excellent managers. The majority of individuals in the acquisition business are either friends of or close ex-colleagues of the senior directors. They promote each other and a cult-like culture internally known as boys club. There is a huge diversity and inclusion issues and this has been made aware to senior management however it is being shut down and made a non-issue. There are consistent issues with women not being promoted and recognised specifically; however, this issue spreads across all diversity channels including race, age, LGBT and mothers, etc. It is talked about constantly but never raised as an issue pubicly to allow the image of excellence to be maintained. An easy search of directors in the acquisition business of Indeed on LinkedIn will prove this point (ALL MEN). The issues include but are not limited to sexual harassment, public scolding in Gap Analysis from Senior Directors due to poor performance which makes people feel like leaving the business due to the horrible nature of feedback, removal of progression based on not being part of the click that is deemed highest (Boys Club). There is an average of one girl per team of ten. We are told we have a voice but this is non-existent.
