This is without a doubt, the absolute worst place I have ever worked. To be fair it started off pretty good. I was excited about this job that I was sold. But within a few months all those that had had a part in my hiring process had quit. Red flag 1. Soon, I learned that hard work is appreciated, but it means nothing unless you sit neatly within a group of select middle management people. Those in ANZ might have an idea of which office I'm now referring to, as the cool gang in one large Australian southern city is pretty infamous. I experienced the worst 'manager' of my life in this role, where their immaturity and plain disgusting behaviour at times made me absolutely hate going to work. And whilst I respect not everyone loves their boss, you should feel comfortable speaking to another manager when yours severely oversteps the line. I was terrified to do this, as I knew I would be spoken about unprofessionally behind their closed glass office doors with other members of the club just as horrible as each other. Isentia isn't about creating an inclusive and motivating culture. It's about sales. It's about overselling a mediocre product and screaming 'BUT IT'S OUR PEOPLE THAT MAKE THE DIFFERENCE'. It would be great concept, Isentia, if only your people (cough* leaders) were of decent character. Your good people you have either made redundant, or they left dejectedly, realising it was all just a huge waste of their energy and skills.
