Watering down bad reviews, Don't be fooled

Pros

a handful of decent people tea, coffee and fruit

Cons

As a former employee I can only stress how much I would advise looking elsewhere. The company is rife with micromanagement and there are more managers than staff! There are certain individuals who go out their way to put other people down and I personally witnessed severe workplace bullying, which when reported is ignored.

Pros

A handful of decent people. That is it. But these few did help make working here more manageable but each would be miserable in the building.

Cons

Micromanagement is rife. There are more managers than there are staff and each act like big brother cracking the whip on their subordinates. The office is highly staffed and absolutely silent and miserable. HR are useless and ignore any complaints made. I genuinely can't think of any reason anyone would WANT to work for this company.

Pros

Decent location. Business seems to be financially stable.

Cons

It's all a lie. Notice how a lot of these reviews were done around the same date? Not a coincidence. It was encouraged internally, of course only for those who seem to like working for Microlise. In my honest opinion, I wouldn't recommend it. There are a load of vacancies for more than just expansion - People are leaving. It claims to be a family business but clearly that was lost many years ago. When it comes to perks, well, I have seen, had and heard of better. There is zero team spirit, departments genuinely resent each other, including management. I have genuinely never heard so many people complain about a workplace before! I'll be leaving as soon as. Be wise.

We're sorry to hear this is your experience, but it is not one we have found shared by many of your colleagues who have commented in various forums on many of the topics raised. It is true that we have encouraged our team to share their experiences via Glassdoor, in order to share the many positives of a long-term career at Microlise. It's disappointing to hear that your experience has fallen below that we would wish for, but I hope you feel able to engage with your manager or senior management to discuss your concerns. Microlise board members are always happy to sit down with members of the team, should there be issues that need to be resolved. As a growing business, there are changes across many teams but we are proud of our investment in people, new and existing, and the opportunities available for members of the team within the business
