Employment status: current
Experience level: Junior

100 years, 1100 women in court for discrimination
Pros: A suit is all you need to feel somebody here...
Cons: The mentality of the company is not to mentor employees nor guide them in what is asked of them. Employees are expected to carry out their tasks while meeting the preferences of the different managers, which they are never told beforehand. 

Strong discrimination against foreigners. People are called names based on their origin and inappropriate jokes are made at their expense all the time both behind closed doors and in groups of people in public. Unjustified and demeaning accusations one struggles to defend against. Unethical and unprofessional approach. People are here to work! 

Inappropriate behaviour from managers, people are put down and pulled into power games for no reason. Other managers/ partners look the other way when asked to help. The reaction to a negative situation is people acting as if they hear things for the first time even though it is well known to everyone.

No one to turn to, either within the unit or to “independent” personnel (HR, Legal, “counsellors”) responsible for official complaints. Information is outdated on the intranet on these matters and only in the local language. Big fish eats small type of mentality. 

There is a big fuss around company’s values, making sure everyone is aware yet nothing is done to ensure that managers/ partners comply and there are no procedures in place for when they do not. Very political.

Power abuse from management. True values: Billing hours.
