Vantaggi
My colleagues and now life long friends I made who lived through the trauma of this rapidly declining workplace together.
Svantaggi
When I joined edyn five years ago, it felt like something special. The culture was vibrant, human, and deeply rooted in authenticity and trust. It felt like a sanctuary in the corporate world. A place where being yourself wasn’t just accepted, it was celebrated. The passion was palpable, and the hotel brands spoke for themselves. Beautiful, bold, and full of heart. But don’t be fooled by the polished veneer of stylish hotels and Instagrammable offices. Beneath the surface now lies a very different story. Everything changed when the investors ousted the leadership team including former CEO. From that moment, the company began to wither. Respect for employees vanished. The culture we built, carefully and with love, was slowly and systematically dismantled. A new Chief People Officer arrived, whose view of "people" feels cold and disconnected. Genuine care and compassion was replaced by rigid policies. Mental health is treated as weakness. Reasonable accommodations, whether for parents, pregnant employees, or those with disabilities, are routinely denied. Ironically, the same CPO brings her own child to the office, allowing disruption while rejecting others’ requests for basic flexibility, like a school run or nursery pick up. One rule for them, another for everyone else. The new CEO, who joined in January, hasn’t even introduced himself to the business. He openly says he doesn’t like communication, and unfortunately, he’s stayed true to that. Perks and benefits have quietly disappeared, flexible working is discouraged or outright rejected, and morale has hit rock bottom. The garden we once nurtured is now scorched earth. It feels like fear has become the management tool of choice. Comply, or you're gone. And if you haven’t hit the two-year mark, they know they can act without consequence, exploiting the lack of employee protections. The environment is deeply hostile, and at times, it felt almost surreal, like the kind of place people warn you about, but you don’t believe until you’ve lived it. I’ve never felt so stressed, so mentally unwell, as I did while working here. Even now, after leaving, I’m still carrying the weight of it. It’s taken a toll I didn’t expect, and recovery hasn’t been easy. This company is simply not worth your wellbeing. Truly, avoid it at all costs. Most of the people I worked alongside have already left or are finding their way out, and honestly, that may be by design. It seems easier to push people out than to treat them fairly or follow proper redundancy processes. Basic workplace rights and regulations are often ignored, or bent just enough to avoid accountability. I’ve never seen anything like it. If you value your wellbeing, your dignity, and working in an environment that respects human beings, look elsewhere. edyn is left soulless. What remains is a hollow shell, dressed in luxury but empty of care. What was once the best company I had ever worked for has turned into something unrecognisable. A flourishing garden that, under careless hands, was left to burn.
