Enjoyable events, but requesting flexibility is difficult - Anonymous employee Roar B2B Employee Review

- Mostly lovely, capable, hard-working people - Dynamic but also relaxed vibe - Events well known and respected in the industry - Decent work-life balance - Central and modern office

In my opinion and personal experience: - Accountability in senior leadership is limited, with mistakes often brushed aside rather than acknowledged and learned from - The culture is gender-biased and not equal. Recognition and career progression often goes to those who ‘fit in’ with management or are regulars at the pub every Thursday - High performers are rewarded with more work, whilst some are praised for doing bare minimum - Favouritism and cliques are obvious, where some celebrated, others are ignored. In my experience, questioning decisions risks being cast out and as soon as you hand in your notice, any good contribution you’ve made is quickly forgotten - Inappropriate comments, especially around women, are often dismissed as humour - HR focus more on protecting the company than on employees. In my experience, confidentiality was used more to shut things down than support employees - Communication is poor and usually limited to damage control around high employee turnover, rather than being transparent

- opportunities for socialising - nice office - WFH days

- Blatant favouritism - birthday cakes and compulsory singalongs for some while others don’t get even get a card - cliquey - certain staff members feel they rule the roost and I feel management enables this, as you get more say depending on how much management like you. If you’re not in a certain clique, they feel unwelcoming/unfriendly, hostility at after work drinks if you’re not in the in crowd, told to move off main tables to make room for favourites … - Compulsory events during lunch hour - staff made to feel like they have to absorb several other roles across departments on top of their own - Promotions based on necessity / favouritism rather than on merit. Male-heavy management. - colleagues comments about women needs to be taken more seriously (see other reviews) - not much diversity - senior women should be valued more highly - Too much investment into wrong parts of business rather than where is truly needed - Roar’s ‘values’ (inclusivity, teamwork, integrity, wellbeing) don’t align with what I experienced at Roar .
