Where do I begin...
Diversity - This company is the least diverse company I have ever worked for, so if you are a person of colour or a Black person you should think twice before applying here. The diversity of this company is shown during the summits when I saw for myself hardly any people or colour. This leads to the racism within this company, I have witnessed and heard many people say microaggression comments to Black colleagues and people of colour. I have been told by Black colleagues racist things their colleagues have said and no one takes it seriously because it’s all “just a joke”. Need I not mention this is not just Black people or people of colour they have targeted but anyone that is foreign they have called Chinese people Ch*nks and even calling Indian people P*kis. People have complained about this to senior management and they have not done anything. Even when they do try and take something “seriously” all you would expect is a company meeting and then it is forgotten about, and these individuals are then back to their racist remarks.
They are only showing now they seem to care about diversity because of the Black Lives Matter. They didn’t care about the actions and words of their employees did then, and they don’t care now. They are only showing that they “care” because they are jumping on the Black Lives Matter bandwagon. Internally they are not even doing that much compared to other companies. It’s a joke of a company even when they post about Black Lives Matter externally it doesn’t get any attention or they get a backlash from it because many employees and previous employees know how they are like.
Toxic workplace
This company is based on favouritism, I have seen my colleagues work so hard for years and not get a promotion, yet their teammates will get promoted for doing half the job they are doing. I have seen them lose great people due to their lack of caring for their employees and the toxicity employees faced day for day. I have seen colleagues leave because they couldn't handle the toxicity in the workplace. They will bully and harass people and Senior management will do nothing about it. There is no room for career growth unless you are the following:
1) Senior managements favourites
2) Take drugs
3) Sleeping with sales
There is no in between.
The company is like a boys club for men where they can cheat on their wife’s/girlfriend’s and the girls are like 'mean girls' where you have to be popular/pretty or either taking drugs to get into their group of friends. It is very clicky, especially in the London office.
You won’t get far if you think you can get a promotion by just working hard. Just be close with the sales teams, do drugs and sleep your way to the top is how Teads works. Like it or not, this is the ugly truth about this company no one wants to admit.
Teads have shown themselves that during a wake of a global pandemic they do not care about their employees.
