Mixed review - Avis employé Secretary Thakeham Group

Strong mission, work life balance, remuneration, very easy job to do nothing in

Very difficult place to work if you’re more technical or delivery focused. A lot of career developers grown through excessive corporate bureaucracy that feed the machine but don’t contribute the businesses primary aim of building homes.

I actually loved my time working for Thakeham as a company - they started off wonderfully and said all the right things to keep me for five years. The benefits were competitive, the vision was exciting and the promise of progression was enticing. The drive to do better was core at Thakeham and I do think this remains now and everyone who works there wants to feel like a valuable part of that and for the most part I think they do.

ertain departments and managers conduct get overlooked due to the companies focus being elsewhere. The less than favourable treatment I received whilst working within Development Management was absolutely heartbreaking. I put everything in to my career and my own growth and I was gaslit, overlooked repeatedly and offered no support. I left for maternity and I was forgotten for a year - excluded from Comms, events etc Experiences of Thakeham really do vary throughout the departments and management styles are not managed in themselves. There was a frustratingly obvious (and well documented) amount of misogyny and sexism within my team which was ignored with no repercussion and remains present to this day.
