Vantaggi
Partners put their cards behind the bar on every social
Svantaggi
Management are aware of the deep routed misogyny at every level of the Audit and Accounts team. The laddy culture is hard to put up with. Socials involve excessive drinking during work and networking events and the office culture is just lad behaviour, derogatory comments towards women and poor behaviour in general. Male colleagues are given more opportunities and quicker promotions. From male only networking and drinking socials with the partners to discuss their career progression to sexist jokes about women, no behaviour or topic seems to be too inappropriate. Anyone who doesn’t agree with the behaviour is an outsider who is too sensitive. Towards the end of 2022, they did mandated training for the Audit and Accounts team on misogynistic behaviours, which included a full page of names currently being used that you should not to refer to women as and behaviours that aren’t acceptable. That didn’t stop anything. HR, the Managing Partner and the whole partner group know it’s a massive issue. Those that reported incidents were told to keep their heads down and all who were openly known to have reported it have left the company within 6 months due to being ostracised. I’m embarrassed to say I worked here. Women deserve better in 2023, do better.
