Nepotism, favouritism and bullying - Anonymous employee Inspired Thinking Group Employee Review

Pros

There are a few nice and normal people that worked there that make it bearable, for a little while.

Cons

Nepotism at its finest. You could have 10+ years of experience and an 18 year old fresh out of sixth form will be promoted over you because they’re a directors son (and this position was never even advertised). Senior management will approve of you if you’re pretty, petite and young, with an airhead attitude. Relentless flirting happens all the day between senior managers and young female members of staff, which is beyond creepy. No complaints are ever made or actions taken as it’s ran like the mafia. The whole of ITG operates like a high school with gossip and constant backstabbing. I have never in my life worked at such a toxic and unpleasant place. If you value your own mental health, do not work here.

Pros

• Fully remote • I loved the work, my boss, and my team (but the client was allowed to run wild) • Promotes diversity (but the formerly robust DEI program at PureRed silently vanished when ITG took over) • Unlimited PTO policy

Cons

I was a victim of the sixth or seventh round of of layoffs within under two years—and there's been another round this month—due to "offshoring" jobs ("rightsizing", "competing in a global marketplace", "globalization", "nearshoring", blah, blah, blah). ITG f/k/a PureRed cares FAR more about money than people. They're axing very talented, hard-working, and driven people only to replace them with cheaper labor in South America and South Asia (while claiming "it's not about cheaper labor"). The company's goal is absolutely to replace all subexecutives with "offshored" labor. ITG claims to be different and better with claims of "transparency" and a "culture of kindness", but they're just like all the other corporate machines with cronyism, high-paid executives (some of whom who get golden parachutes after mergers and buyouts), very low-paid worker bees, and a bunch of lip service. I've never been more disappointed in a company. Just be evil and own it. Stop lying to everyone. And PLEASE stop the crocodile tears, leadership. Have some self-awareness. You've axed people who make very little money in one of the worst job markets in years. Spare us the theatrics.

Hi There, thank you for your feedback, its disappointing to hear that your experience with ITG / PureRed wasn't the best - 2025 saw some difficult trading conditions as well as economic and political challanges, and led to some difficult decisions being made - That said we do acknowledge the impact this had on some of our teams - Our Wellbeing and Diversity programs are still as strong as ever and remain an amazing source of support for our global teams. I hope you are prospering now and enjoying your work.
