Toxic environment that stunts career growth - Consultant Investec Employee Review

1.0

Nov 30, 2020

Consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

High functioning environment. Good synergy and bankwide exposure. Great trust but also great responsibility on you to deliver without supervision. Free drinks on Friday. Not really much else.

Cons

Disparity between senior (white male) employees and juniors (especially women of colour) is appalling. Management culture reflects this. Convenient lack of clear job titles which is used against you in all engagements. All young talent inevitably leaves. Every second review here discusses poor pay. HR completely anti-employee and at best all they aim to do is ‘look into it and take these matters seriously.’ If you’re not in the select club, you are on your own no matter what you do. But the most disgusting feature is the open racism and sexism with no repercussions.

Pros

Entrepreneur mindset that allows you to grow outside your specific box, if you choose. Supportive leadership in helping you achieve your goals.

Cons

Have to pull for growth, not handed to you. You have to be aggressive and ask for what you need.

Investec Response

Thank you for your 5-star review! We are glad to hear about the supportive leadership and entrepreneurial mindset. We appreciate your suggestion for more formalised growth plans.
