Bad management has led to an oppressive atmosphere - Anonymous employee AVB Group Employee Review

Compensation is good for the area and benefits are one of the best. Sometimes senior management does not understand the ground reality

Commute and work life balance take s a hit sometimes.. and also its always work and no play atmosphere in the office culture.

- Some really great colleagues - Great location - Social club really puts in an effort to build a nice culture

Complete honesty, I was so excited to get a job working at a major agency, but I soon realised the hell it was. To say that working there impacts some people's mental health negatively is an understatement, my colleagues would regularly cry in the corridors or bathrooms due to pressure (management knew and acknowledged it at a company-wide meeting, without doing anything about it). Long working hours, little-to-no appreciation and a culture that makes you feel like you have to watch your own back is just the tip of the iceberg. Management rotates who they like, if you're in-favour you can do no wrong, and if you're not, you can do no right. I can honestly say that working there has scarred me to the stage where my current employer has called out how tense/nervous I seem at work because I don't know when the sky is going to fall down. For your own sake, it's not worth it.
