As a seasoned professional I have seen my share of challenging and difficult work environments. And I knew going in that working at an RPO would be tough. But never have I come across as toxic and unprofessional work environment as Cielo. Every day begins with an inbox full of "where's this?" and "why didn't you?" snarky messages that come from an earlier (UK) time zone so your day begins with a verbal flogging. You learn quickly that the group leader does not have your back and is more than willing to sacrifice you and your team. Team members were sworn at (verbally and in email), publicly humiliated, and I don’t say this lightly, mentally abused. The US team is often pitted against the UK team and there’s a constant ‘Us against Them’ vibe which permeates all team interactions. As stated in other reviews, all of these concerns were repeatedly brought to HR and nothing was done. The team often discusses why HR will not address the individual at the root of these issues after so many of us have voiced our concerns. For a company that has very smart women in its top ranks I can’t help wonder why the brand and social team is allowed to be run like an old boys club?
