Do not recommend if you are a woman - Avis employé Employé (anonyme) Unit

(1) The culture was toxic for most women at Unit. Women faced implicit bias, micro aggressions, and inequity frequently, if not daily. As a result, many strong female workers left. (2) The executive team seemed to be more concerned about outward appearances than employees’ well being. (3) The knowledge gaps were astounding, particularly since a large portion of the company was not based in the United States and lacked baseline knowledge of the requirements for financial services in the US. (4) The manner in which certain male executives spoke to women that were trying to help and/or advise them was alarming and not acceptable. The executive team often categorized these as “cultural differences” rather than acknowledging there is in fact an issue with how men treat and speak to many women at the organization. (5) The people function was not effective. I raised issues and concerns about diversity, equity and inclusion many times - nothing was done. I had concrete examples for said concerns, and they were ignored. There also was not any programming for diversity, equity, and inclusion in the US. (6) There was not work life balance. Every team was extremely under resourced. The employees doing the day to day work were always drowning in work. (7) Numerous women in the organization were never recognized, or provided opportunities to be leaders, even though they were excellent, over-qualified candidates for leadership. These women had great track records and data to back them up, but the executives did not provide them with the opportunity to be a leader. (8) The lack of processes always alarmed me.
