Wonderfully refreshing - Compliance Monitoring Analyst Infomedia (UK) Employee Review

Looking back over the last year and a bit, Infomedia has improved and is constantly looking for ways to improve. Collaboration between teams is good with a drive to empower from the bottom up. A big change to the technology team was moving to agile which was tough in the beginning but has now steadied and processes are more refined. Everyone in the company is approachable all the way up to the CEO who has a “door is always open” policy for staff to take up. Working from home is common and requests are hardly turned down as long as staff are productive and get things done. There is a big focus on the wellbeing of employees both mentally and physically, not only recently with the Coronavirus but even from day one when I started. Overall going to work is a joy and compared to my previous roles at other companies , not once do I wake up feeling “urg I have to go to work today”. All my colleagues are a pleasure to work with and so is working for Infomedia.

None really that I can think of. I feel that the company is as transparent as possible where they can be in keeping us updated. With any business, sometimes difficult decisions need to be made and sometimes things get tough.

Some individuals are very talented.

The management are unable to accept responsibility for their own inadequacies and rather than accept exit interviews or feedback, like that given in the first 1-star review, as an opportunity to improve, grow and make positive changes (a few leadership training courses wouldn’t hurt), they would rather blame the people who left. The carefully crafted positive display from a current worker exactly highlights the problem(s) at this group of companies. It was too ‘Fast pace’, laughable, having worked in some serious, grown up and professional organisations the pace is not stressful, the lack of credible leadership is, the micromanagement, the lack of humility, the bullying, the passive aggressive behaviour, the uncomfortable ‘managing out’ which is a regular occurrence. The very senior people have no capacity for change, no ability to look at themselves and see any faults, what drives the business is basic greed and not fairly distributed, discrimination and pay disparities are common. My advice is, if you are thinking of joining (don’t), but if you are charmed by the senior people (that is their only strength), then do some digging, look at the staff turnover record, see if they have kept any of the exit interviews and ask to read them, I suspect as they were not positive they no longer exist. The exit interview process no longer exists either, best not to ask if you are not prepared to listen and make changes. I’m sure outwardly and to anyone who wants to listen ‘lessons will be learnt’ but the reality is, they won’t.
