- Micromanagement: Everything is driven by Nik (at an all hands he said the way to grow successful companies is Micromanage everyone)
- You make a mistake you get fired, there are a lot of people that just disappear with no communication or update from senior management, just rumours that they were fired.
- If Nik likes you, you are safe if not avoid any meetings with him otherwise he will just bully you in front of everyone.
- Limited thought process to customers its very much focussed on making money at all costs
- No care for people, the bedrock of the company, you are expected to work 15+ hours a day if you don't then you are not an A-Player.
- Everything is process focussed, however its a Nik process focussed that fundamentally means not a process at all its whatever he wants.
- Everyone is just Nik's yes man and too fearful to question or push back
- Culture is non-existent in this place, its one built on bullying and fear of losing your job to get results nothing else.
- FAs (Founder Associates) - are Nik's minions and run the company, no one in the organisation understands their role or value (all 21 with no work experience yet will often build processes and procedures that the hired experts disagree with yet no one ever listens to the experts.
- Meetings with Nik and FA's are often all pre-planned, he will ask them their thoughts, which surprise surprise aligns with his, after which you discuss with the FA and they then agree with you but won't question Nik.
- Too much focussed on KPIs that add little value to overall goals or even your role, as long as they trend upwards Nik is happy.
- No clear strategy for the business apart from being super app (whatever that means!?)
