Ridiculous Targets, poor management - Recensione dipendente - Trainee Consultant presso Managementors

Occasional team socials Small office, close-knit colleagues

Not a real consultancy (just sales) Outdated, recycled methodology Founder and family are the core problem Nepotistic, uninspiring leadership Practice Directors are lightweight Many projects are dressed-up workforce reductions, not true operational improvement High burnout, no work-life balance Misleading recruitment process Reliance on cold calling after nearly 30 years in business Managementors presents itself as an operational improvement consultancy, but the reality is very different. Most work is sales-driven, with employees spending their time cold calling and chasing leads. That a company nearly 30 years old still relies on cold calling for new clients is a clear sign of weak business development and lack of credibility in the market. Client delivery relies on outdated, rigid methodology that offers little innovation or genuine operational improvement. Many projects are little more than dressed-up workforce reductions, designed to demonstrate a make-believe return on investment rather than delivering real improvements. The founder and his family are at the heart of the problem. The company is family-run, fostering nepotism and unprofessional decision-making. The hierarchy is incapable of inspiring or effectively leading staff. Practice Directors are lightweight, focused on short-term metrics rather than mentoring teams or delivering meaningful client outcomes. This leaves employees demotivated, directionless, and contributes to a culture of high burnout and disengagement. The internal culture is exhausting, with long hours, unrealistic expectations, and trivial office issues sometimes treated more seriously than real work. Career progression is extremely limited unless you are part of the family circle. Recruitment is misleading, presenting roles as consultancy when in practice they are sales-heavy jobs with little learning value.

- Small company filled with great people who want to help wherever they can - Business cares about their people and looking after them - Success is rewarded and recognised by management, no fixed promotion cycles, it's based on when you're able to move up - Opportunity to work with some big name clients, surprising for such a small company - Delivering value for clients is top priority - nice to see in the consulting world

- Small company - if you're looking for large teams and a more corporate style it may not suit you
