IF YOU ARE AN INTERN - Please avoid! Awful workplace environment, HR incompetence! - Intern Ipsos Employee Review

I worked at Ipsos and was taken advantage of as a young graduate working in my first role after graduation. My manager acted like she was open to supporting me and left me completely isolated and manipulated me constantly. My mental health detoriated and I was used as a mule, constantly trying to please all the senior members of staff. The lack of transparency during role, obvious hierarchy, treated like a lesser person as an intern The workplace politics - pathetic cliques in the workplace. Lack of racial diversity - racial insensitivity and racist undertones while working which HR avoids Talked about workplace flexibility but completely ignored my need for flexibility as an intern who lived 2 hours away. HR incompetence - Talking to colleagues about confidential personal information without my knowledge. Accidently overpaid after I left the company, I have had to deal with repayment while unemployed. I have suffered a great deal because of my financial situation. This has led me to write about the company and what I went through, I would not want any young intern to work for IPSOS Mori without knowing how awful your senior collegues and HR managers can treat you. My own manager disposed of me without clear evidence of the reasons why, because I am an intern, the contract was vague and allowed termination without notice for any inconvenience. Please be careful before you go to this company as a young intern, I regret ever working here.
