Pros

there were some nic e people in the office but...

Cons

most of the sales people I have interacted with at Toluna were like sharks, no collegiality whatsoever and very disrespectful when issues occur. I always had the feeling that the work atmosphere was dictated by ruthless people ie the team leaders, operations director who based their management style absolutely on fear. there would be fights and scream between them in the office, which i obviously found quite disturbing as no one should come to work and assist to such scenes. really disappointing as a first work experience and London. other than that no real training was provided, asking your colleagues was seen as a weakness. i would not recommend this company to anyone unless you are equally ruthless and ready to step on dead bodies in order to get where you want to.

Flawed company that tries hard

Pros

Mostly nice colleagues & senior management Decent benefits Senior Management tries hard to communicate well to the rest of the business Good work / life balance Relatively flat working culture, where senior employees will engage with and listen to less senior employees.

Cons

Toluna Start platform is a jack-of-all-trades, master of none. Poor pay. Lack of directness, too much emphasis on being overly polite, which is usually pleasant, but it can be difficult to get direct feedback from colleagues on how one can improve and sometimes leads to passive aggressiveness in some employees. Direct AND polite way of communicating internally needs to be encouraged more. Overkill of internal meetings makes it difficult to find time to work with clients, senior management did little to address this issue when raised. Not really a remote embracing culture for the sales team in the UK, they are pressured to come into the office some days for internal meetings. Heavily male-dominated Senior Leadership team, and a bit of an 'old boys club' attitude amongst some of them who have been at the business for a long time
