Terrible work enviornment - Senior Designer Landor Employee Review

There is a huge gender bias in the way female employees are spoken to, and mentored (or lack of) I worked here for 5 years as a senior designer and I wasn't promoted, I wasn't even given concrete reasons, and then a Male employee was hired from the outside who has 0 (ZERO!) work experience. He has only worked as a freelancer and doesn't even have 5 branding projects in his portfolio. All this was very upsetting because when I got a new job and decided to leave they threw the promotion at me. Male employees are constantly furthered and spoken to with a lot more politeness and with a belief they are some sort of "natural-born leaders". Female employees giving any kind of feedback or having an issue - is written away as 'whining' and 'catfights'. The design directors very often book themselves on projects and get the work done from senior or junior designers while constantly criticizing the work. It is really is not a very democratic place. They have no comp-leaves for working on holidays and no empathy either.
