Nope Some of the nicest and funniest people ive worked with. However the company itself and the managing staff? Big no. Monitor your visits to the toilet, have to have phone in locker which makes it a nightmare if you are expecting calls or if someone tries to reach you for an emergency. 0 flexibility, awfull salary. They only focus on numbers and not their employees. new hires come go like its a brothel. Within 6 months of working there there are most likely only a handfull of people left from when you started. Wouldnt recommend even for the young and naive to work here.

HSBC/First direct Bad company to work… HSBC/First direct Bad company to work for! training was made to feel very uncomfortable and gave me anxiety due to 12 total assessments and your made to put your scores in a group chat so everyone can see what you got. Referencing/vetting is a joke you speak to 5 or 6 different people in recruitment sending over multiple peace’s of personal information and they ask for more and more want every part of your life for 10 years even when they have given you the job and have started already. Worse company I have ever worked at don’t believe a word that they say in training it’s all for show.

4 redundancies in 3 years 4 redundancies in 3 years. Campaigns constantly being moved abroad so UK staff made redundant. Toxic environment where you only do well if you suck up to managers. Avoid if you want job security and fair pay.

They treat employees like cattle, especially immigrants They will allow Nordic born people to have a separate holiday AND a separate set of paid time with their parents. They denied my request to travel from Copenhagen to Helsinki when my mom was in the hospital but then two weeks later, they allowed a Norwegian Swede whatever to travel to a Swedish forest and party with her parents. Company auditors will also accept that ethnic women with a condition are verbally assaulted. They chose to fire me after 5 years the same day I told them that some of my organs might need medical attention. My journey with them included a long period of 15+ hours of work and talks about career opportunities. My boss then went and credited a Nordic person with not just my work, everyone elses too. They will also deem the question “Can we have a Palestinian cause to vote for in the Christmas donation competition” as antisemitic and will give a written warning if you ask.

Company is awful Company is awful. Managers are complete bullies and sexually harrass people daily. They lack qualifications to manage their teams as they more than likely have worked in the company years even if they one minute we’re just a customer service agent. Hr department is despicable and breach confidentiality all of the time. Pay is woeful. Systems you are forced to work on are sub par. You don’t get paid for breaks and when you get paid every 2 weeks the pay is always significantly less and you have to go back and forth with pay roll. No mental health facilities.
