The emperors new clothes Every day feels more and more like this is a failing business. About 25 people have left in the last two years or so out of a company that employed about 45. New people are constantly hired but all the good people leave when they have had enough of the toxic and incompetent leadership that is always lying. The Founders are out of touch or not interested in reality, are egotistical to the extreme and have created a loyalty culture killing any semblance of a meritocracy. As a consequence Anthemis has more cronies than the White House. There appears to be a growing reputation issue, every time I say to people I work at Anthemis they are either laughing or asking me if I am also looking for a job. The former CEO was fired for sexual harassment, that was the tip of the iceberg and in no way addressed the cultural, organisational and strategic car crash that is Anthemis. It?s getting to the point that investors are not comfortable and this is making raising a new fund difficult and we can only attract unsophisticated investors
