Pros

I met some amazing people working here which is the only positive.

Cons

Where to start? Inherently ambiguous instructions from the top of the marketing team, stifling micromanagement, a total lack of focus with a different plan for the same piece of work each week, management bottlenecking important pieces of work despite repeated requests to review, 121 meetings were 'essential' yet cancelled every week meaning important issues couldn't be resolved and work couldn't progress, the management style created a toxic and hostile working environment that destroyed what little morale was left in the department.. I could sit here all day and continue, but I won't waste my time. Just like A-SAFE don't waste their time gathering valuable feedback from outgoing members of staff to improve the culture and find out what's really going on within each department - a huge shame.

Thank you for your review. We are sorry your experience with A-SAFE wasn’t everything you hoped for. You raise some points around ways of working which are at a very micro level and this isn’t really the forum to discuss these. However, we would just like to assure you that we do gather feedback and welcome this in whatever format. For example, all exit interviews are sent directly to the Managing Directors. We are also about to launch our first Employee Engagement Survey. We identify trends in feedback and take action in light of these. We have had phenomenal growth and success over the past 5 years and have more than trebled the size of the business. Inevitably, we won’t get everything right and we recognise there are always learning points and room for improvement and we are more than willing to make improvements as we continue to grow. We respect individual views expressed but have to take these in the context of the overall organisation. We are proud of our employees who work very hard and flexibly to deliver our ongoing success and growth.

Pros

A-SAFE makes a decent product.

Cons

Do not walk but RUN from any opportunity with A-SAFE. When I say that this is the worst company I have ever worked for, it's not just my opinion. It should be the company motto. I knew I made a mistake working here when the sales coach was literally encouraging employees to start interviewing with other companies due to poor leadership and inconsistent messaging. This is one of those places that will constantly ask employees for feedback, but if you disagree with the way things are running they will find a way to get rid of you. The most toxic company culture I have ever been a part of. They try to instill fear as a leadership tactic so everyone is constantly wondering when they will be next on the chopping block. Ownership has no idea how to run a company, so every few months they make changes without any kind of real vison or direction. If you do feel stuck here, use your time to start updating your resume and find somewhere else that actually values their people.
