RH reviews

Very few of the Design Management has the credentials, experience or knowledge to be leading the design teams. Unethical management - they will do or say anything to make a sale, High amount of lay-offs which seems to be geared toward playing favorites, a lot of design talent gets let go.

In my experience, management felt heavily top-down and overly controlling rather than genuinely supportive. Day-to-day work was highly measured, with a strong focus on targets and constant scrutiny, which created a micromanaged environment rather than one built on trust. Leadership often came across as carrying out direction from above rather than leading with independence, clarity, or accountability. The company spoke a lot about values, but the reality did not consistently reflect respect, support, or appreciation for staff. Training and guidance were limited, expectations were not always matched by proper support, and progression felt unclear. Performance reviews did not feel particularly meaningful, and compensation growth did not reflect the level of pressure and workload. Overall, it felt like an environment where people were pushed hard, burned out quickly, and not recognised properly for their contribution.
