Penta Group Reviews

Every change made by the current management seems to be to negatively impact employees and claw back benefits. Compensation for mid-level and below gets worse every year in real terms. It is well known that HR will rarely reply to anyone, even once failing to respond to a colleague trying to hand in their notice. Seems to be an inner circle who will endlessly be rewarded while others are punished and blamed for any problems. Terrible and laborious review processes. It was never perfect but better before the private equity takeover.

- The culture is toxic, with micromanagement prevalent across teams. - Senior management appears disengaged from the challenges faced by employees, focusing more on congratulating themselves than supporting their staff. - Entry-level and lower-tier employees shoulder the majority of the workload, often requiring excessive overtime, yet they receive minimal pay. - There is no flexibility or respect for work-life balance. Employees are frequently contacted on their days off or even while on sick leave. - Promises of pay raises or flexible working arrangements are rarely fulfilled, leading to widespread disappointment and low morale. - The company consistently overcharges clients while delivering services of diminishing quality, creating ethical concerns. - Employee turnover is alarmingly high, with 2–3 staff members leaving monthly on average, while others are signed off due to stress and anxiety. - The HR department is ineffective, and employee requests or concerns are met with no response. Feedback from employees is never taken on board, which leaves employees feeling completely unheard and unsupported and only worsen the already toxic environment.
