Terrible management - Anonymous employee Aira Employee Review

Hybrid working structure and the regional team before redundancies were made.

The business is severely undermined by poor management and questionable leadership decisions, with individuals being promoted into roles they are clearly not equipped to handle. There is a significant lack of communication between the north and south operations, creating confusion and inefficiency across the company. I was left with minimal support while expected to manage an entire region, taking on responsibilities equivalent to a senior leadership role without any recognition or appropriate remuneration. The culture appears to favour an “inner circle,” with progression often influenced by personal relationships rather than merit, which is both demoralising and unprofessional. Combined with substantial company debt and redundancy decisions that seemed to target the wrong individuals, my experience was ultimately a frustrating misuse of time and effort.

Aira has a positive and supportive working environment where teamwork, learning, and personal development are strongly encouraged. The company culture is friendly and inclusive, making it easy to feel part of the team from day one. Senior management is approachable and regularly engages with employees, which helps create open communication and a strong sense of collaboration. There are plenty of opportunities to grow within the company, and hard work is recognised and rewarded. Overall, it’s a fast-paced but enjoyable environment for people who are motivated, willing to learn, and enjoy working as part of a team.

Normal new company issues - streamlining procedures and improving process. Fantastic role for somebody wanting to work hard and learn/grow.
