Webcentral Reviews

Once we got sold to 5G Networks, many people left. They stopped rehiring, and therefore all clients were not looked after. They kept reallocating them to whomever was left to manage them. There were also a period where no work was getting done for our clients as we didnt have any SEO tech team. 5GN stopped investing in the digital sector yet they didnt want to sell us to companies who were interested in us. They just wanted to get the monthly retainer of clients who were in contract at the time, even though no work was getting done. The new bosses had no female leaderships. They were pretty much living in the 1980s way of working. If they hired a new person in a role, they would give that person other tasks that were outside of their expertise, and if that person couldn't fulfill that additional task, the CEO will just fire them, yes CEO and not the persons direct manager. This company was built as a family business, and that mentality of having "small family business" did not change as the company grew and became public.

Below market pay Virtue signalling and performative diversity and inclusion - it’s all for show. Overpaid execs that simply want to keep their jobs and cushy salaries versus actually standing up to the CEO. If you do stand up, you won’t last long. Questionable HR practises, no EAP (the head of people and culture is a ‘psychologist’ so you are expected to share you personal grievances with someone you can’t trust). There is no genuine room for growth in this company. It’s run as a dictatorship. There are so many good companies out there and you should avoid Webcentral at all costs. This business can be described as amateur hour at best. If you have any talent and drive, it will be drained from you working here.
