Major Redundancy - Toxic Environment

Pros

If you befriend the management and C Level employees, you will have a great time! Free beers on Friday Free lunch on Wednesday Central Office No need to work on notice or redundancy

Cons

In all honesty, they just shave off the axe on employees without any warning. A lot of redundancy has been happening, and I strongly believe the resources being invested are done in a wrong way. This is not the place to work with if you are looking for a stable job. It can prove to be very rewarding but isn't worth it with all the stress of not knowing who will be the next one to be let go. It could be you perhaps...? If you are made redundant, and tell friends or other employees, they try to use the scare tactic that might risk you not getting paid for being let go.

Hi there, I am disappointed to hear that you are so disillusioned by your experience with us here at Investoo Group. Hopefully I can address some of the issues you have raised. Startups are notorious for having a high attrition rate and it's a difficult task retaining and engaging existing employees but something we are very conscious of. These decisions are never made lightly and are given a lot of thought, a fair process is always followed and our people are given lots of notice and support. Keeping communication open has been a big focus for us in the last 6 months. We provide multiple modes of communication among managers and employees which is evident through our increase in company meetings, monthly all hands, 1:1s and anonymous survey feedback routes. A recent survey found that the majority of staff feel they are aware of changes that happen in the company showing a material improvement from our last survey in May. I’m glad you note that we provide people with rewarding career opportunities. We have drastically improved our long-term approach in order to maintain a sustainable business. One of the many ways in which we do so is providing employees with the opportunity to progress to higher positions within the company. Lastly, I’d like to thank you for your review. We will take on board your comments, improving our company and the environment in which we work. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at david@investoogroup.com.

Pros

All the fun and hardworking people that were there are gone now you are left with people that are messed up really!

Cons

There is nothing positive anymore about this company. You can see that the latest reviews on the 24th of Sept are fake. They were all uploaded the same day and the content is similar. How great Investoo is! Well all false! It is very easy to create fake accounts and they are so desperate that they are doing that, instead of accepting the fact that things are wrong and try to fix them. Some very old reviews are true though. There are so many things that I would like to say to protect people from working for this company. I do not have bad feelings but I have seen so many good and hardworking people getting fired/redundant or leaving on their own and I want to protect the people that want to work there. It will probably take me days to write all the bad things that are going on there. But I will say 3 things: 1) Do not believe when they tell you there are great opportunities for you. There are not. 2)You will want to leave because there are a lot of C level ridiculous and incompetent people. 3) You will be going to work and every day you will think that this is your last day, especially after you realise what is going on there!

Hi there, Firstly, I am very sorry that you feel this way. We do not condone dishonest reviews and we believe one of the most valuable ways to better a company is through constructive criticism, so thank you for taking the time to provide a review. With regards to the three issues you have raised, I can assure you that we are always trying to better ourselves and make Investoo Group an exciting and enjoyable company to work for. Our employees have the opportunity to attend different workshops, conferences and forums to better their skills and knowledge. We actively encourage employees to provide feedback on processes and schemes at Investoo Group. This way we can increase the number of opportunities we provide for our staff. Investoo Group is constantly growing, therefore there has been a need to implement a new level of management within the company’s current structure. In a start-up environment like ours, there are times of restructure which we appreciate can be unsettling for our employees. I would like to assure you, we want to work with every employee to ensure that they are happy and secure within their job at Investoo Group. If you would like to ask any further questions, please don’t hesitate to get in contact with us.

Pros

Free lunch Free beer Great location Nice view (but which startups don't have this) Friendly people but no real talent

Cons

Run by family and their friends Recruiters are inexperienced they hire for roles that are not really needed, due to rapid market changes and poor planning processes from "C" level Politics Gossip Products don't really add real value to customers Misleading news about crypto to scrape out leads Shady financial products Investor groups seem to be shady
