CEO response - Firstly, we have no former employees who have been with us for over 1 year. However, I brought out my business partner in September 2022. As a result of the business changes, I made several promotions; obviously, not everyone could be promoted. The timing of this negative review coincides with this period. Bullying is an accusation I take very seriously and is one I have never been accused of before this anonymous review. I talk to all my colleagues regularly, get their feedback, and act on it. We have employee reviews formally every quarter, which includes some time when views on how we perform as management and me as CEO are discussed. We also have employee meetings without management present with our NED to receive more open comments. Never have comments such as this been aired about me. On the contrary, they are positive, with occasional encouraging advisories. I work long hours and go out of my way to promote a healthy working environment. I am an NCA special officer with the NCCU and a Certified Cyber Professional with the NCSC, taking my professional attitude very seriously. As CEO, the buck always stops with me, and I take responsibility and accountability for all of Samurai’s actions. These comments in the above review are false and defamatory. This review, the one on the 10th of November and the one April 4th 2023 all occurred during the same individual's disciplinary proceedings. Which seems an interesting coincidence.

This review is allegedly written by the same toxic employee that wrote the other poor reviews. Unfortunately, glassdoor provides no verification of the validity of reviews. The same disgruntled employee can continue to poison the system as often as they wish with negative anonymous reviews. As an interesting co-incident, the negative review postings all coincide with the same individual's disciplinary periods. Unfortunately, I am now expecting further anonymous defamatory content to be posted. If you are a prospective candidate looking to join Samurai, please get in touch with me at info@samuraisecurity.co.uk, and I would be happy to reassure you. We work very hard to look after employees and consultants; however, on this occasion, we were unsuccessful in our attempts to appease a difficult employee. Please do not let the comments of one toxic employee negatively affect your decision. Many thanks, David Day (CEO)

They are all real reviews, apart from your multiple bad ones. I suspect you are anonymous posting because deep down, you know this rhetoric isn't true. It is this attacking, victim mentality that resulted in you having to leave us, as it was affecting others in the team. Feel free to call me if you want to discuss it. Same empolyee as 13th April and 13th November posts who keeps posting anonymous posts to poison the system. Something it seems Glassdoor are perfectly happy to let happen.
