Management in London is governed by a dictatorial style where you have no rights to object, crititicize nor offer a different point of view. HR is scary, abusing their power to make you feel small and isolated. Whistleblowing procedure doesn't work - no action was taken after raising concern. It's all about formalism and corporate attitude where all you have to do is Obeying. They have little budget for events and your office is in the middle of nowhere besides a graveyard, so depressing. Don't talk to colleagues about your personal stuff - the environment is so TOXIC you will not be able to distinguish it from an episode of squid game. Middle management has no power and actually they have little or no knowledge of the compliance space. Formalism is key - You gotta understand that. Being yourself? Forget it. They criticize OT for lay offs but they do exactly the same while bragging about their great financial position. Being a victing of that was not fun stuff.
