Room for Improvement - Anonymous employee SafetyCulture Employee Review

When I first started at SafetyCulture, I would describe the culture as fun, open, driven and mission obsessed. However, over time these values have fallen by the wayside. Now I am not a disgruntled employee, nor did I leave on bad terms, however, I do feel I have the right to be honest about my experience at SafetyCulture, so others know what to expect. What I love the most about the company are the people I work with everyday, I can safely say we were all drawn to the same values that unpinned this company. However, poor hiring decisions, politics and lack of foresight by the senior leadership bled toxic poison into the organization. Sadly, strong misogynistic behavior was, and continues to be overlooked and the 'bro' culture is prevalent amongst many teams. Though some posts will say that these issues are fake, over dramatized or have been 'dealt with', I ask you to think to yourself "Who's perspective really matters?". That is not to say that all of my male co-workers are to blame. It is to say, that those that contribute to this culture either do so actively, by only taking the opinions of the other men in the room - not women, sharing information only with their male colleagues, calling women "emotional" when issues are brought up or saying inappropriate comments in the workplace. Others, do so passively, by not standing up for those that demonstrate this behavior, displaying unconscious bias and consciously reaping the rewards of simply being a man. I think it goes without saying, but these behaviors start from the very top of the business and trickle down to middle management and staff. Regardless, I have forged some of my most valued working relationships at SafetyCulture, with both males and females. However, I do express that every employee is responsible for ensuring that this behavior does not continue and to call out those that promote it. In addition, SafetyCulture continues to deliver empty promises to its staff. This may be in the form of promotions, pay rises, flexible working hours, internal transfers or experience trips. Lastly, portions of middle management are inexperienced and lack the people skills needed of great leaders. Unfortunately, no amount of leveling up or leadership workshops can teach integrity or empathy.
