I’ve never been treated as poorly as I was by this SEO team. On the surface, everything looks happy and friendly. They hire “quirky, cool” people and promote a family-like culture where everyone is encouraged to share their eccentricity. But this is just toxic positivity.
The company champions diversity and mental health, but in practice, neurodiversity is an inconvenience. Time and again, talented people, mainly those with foreign names the line managers couldn’t ever spell correctly, failed to pass probation. When concerns about leadership are raised, the response isn’t reflection or improvement; instead, you’re quietly pushed out under false pretences.
Beneath the branding is something dark and unsettling. They make you feel unstable and vulnerable at work, and that vulnerability is weaponised. If they notice you have a good relationship with a colleague, they’ll use that colleague to get to you. Information is deliberately withheld. Your work is undermined behind closed doors. Speaking up only paints a bigger target on your back, and HR will align with them, not with you.
They don’t confront you with genuine care about how you’re feeling. They erode you slowly, chipping away at your confidence until you start doubting yourself and doing the emotional labour for them. It will affect your work and mental health negatively. If you consider applying here, do it with caution.
