Farmlands reviews

Middle management has limited influence and is often caught between senior leadership and constantly shifting priorities. Teams are expected to absorb unrealistic demands, and when concerns are raised or individuals fall out of favour, restructures can occur with little warning and limited transparency. There is a clear “us and them” culture, with decision-making concentrated within a small inner circle. HR processes are inconsistently applied, which is widely recognised both inside and outside the organisation. While mental health initiatives exist, they often feel like a compliance exercise rather than being reflected in everyday leadership behaviour.

The broader environment was quite challenging, the organisation went through what felt like frequent restructures, which created a sense of instability and made it difficult to plan or feel secure in your role. Management styles varied a lot, and not all leaders demonstrated the professionalism or communication you’d expect, especially during periods of change.
