Systematic Failures at all levels of the company. - Anonymous employee Lapis Employee Review

- No work-life balance, your time is not your own. Management decided to fly me to another city on a weekend, and I only found out when someone else was asked to arrange for the hotels - I was not consulted. - I was repeatedly verbally abused my a staff member senior to me, and despite telling my line manager nothing was done about it. I could not raise the matter, due to nepotism among senior staff members. - Systematic racial and gender discrimination to which senior management told me that it was the nature of the places in which we worked. A white male colleague produced a creative brief for me which I sent to HQ (as I was overworked managing the workload of two other people who were on leave) senior management told me it was bad and inappropriate to ask the creative team tasks like creating slogans. When he re-worded the exact same brief he had written for me and sent it through his email address he was praised. - Management lacks capacity to do simple tasks like write client emails, which junior staff members are told to write for them. There is no review of work due to this, instead junior staff is tasked to review managements work. - Poor ethics, participants were paid to attend events and screenings due to poor planning and marketing. Topics were not taken seriously and repeatedly mocked. - No consideration for staff safety, despite the fact that safety concerns were previously ignored in Afghanistan leading to the unfortunate deaths of 7 of their staff members. Senior management did not contact staff in the office after the attack. - The company does not stand by the values that they project. I would not wish the experience on anyone.
