Svantaggi

This company is not an ethical employer in any sense. They tell you to bring your personality to the OVO "family" but you will soon find out that as soon as you are employed by them, all that changes. They sell you on a brass ring that you will never attain and promote a drinking culture and consistent parties where they will even reward staff with bottles of wine and spirits because they want to be seen as a cool place to work. There is blatant racism and during my tenure there, every Black person was put on a 1 year probation and multiple persons of colour, were made to feel inadequate because even with extensive experience, they were never considered for promotion or other open positions. They foster a separatist and bullying working culture where you understand that there is a hierarchy established and you're not seen as a team player because you don't go out drinking almost everyday after work. The way they deal with racial issues is sweep it under the rug and you're told that you dont talk about any incidents outside of work and if you do then you're sacked. They fired a girl because she spent too long on the phone helping an elderly lady who's credit ran out and she couldnt get out of her door due to mobility issues and the fact that it snowed heavily so she had no heat. Their excuse?? "She should have found someone to top up for her and she wouldnt have this issue." The person was sacked an hour later and was escorted out in front of everyone and shamed. I dont recommend this place to anyone. With a founder that is more concerned about being considered to be a top 10 employer and spending company money on crazy parties, its no surprise that they have the reputation they do. Avoid at all costs

Risposta di OVO

Hello, thank you for taking the time to leave this feedback for us and we would like to respond to some of the concerns you've raised. We take allegations of racism very seriously and we have formal grievance procedures where anyone can raise a concern to management or HR and a full investigation would be conducted. The type of behaviour that you have described is unacceptable and should we ever become aware of any employee behaving this way we would take strong and immediate action. We work hard to build a culture of inclusivity where opportunities are available to everyone, regardless of their background. Offering a diverse range of workplace events is also something that is very important to us as we want everyone to feel included here at OVO. There are parties and events which include alcoholic drinks but we also have sporting events, clubs, networks, and department socials which are alcohol-free. We have heard your feedback on this and we will make continued efforts to try and maintain a range of events suitable for all employees. There are no employees at OVO that have been placed on a 1 year probation period upon joining: our standard probation periods at OVO are either 3 or 6 months depending on the department people join. All new employees in the same role and department have a probation period of the same length to ensure everyone has the same opportunity to thrive in their role here at OVO. Although it is rare, there may be some circumstances where we feel it is appropriate to extend probation by a short period, such as the level of performance being lower than expected. Where this is the case we do as much as possible to provide training and support to enable those employees to successfully pass their probation.
