Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield

The company is very political and based the promotions on how much the senior leaders like someone. Role is very stressful and the company is basically merging several roles into one calling it accountant when in fact we're doing financial analysts job too as all the financial analysts were all gone through the COVID lay offs or are not interested in staying in the company as they are forced to do accounting work.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Not much. Toxic leadership. Some leaders are OK, but for the most part a very unfriendly environment. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Unrealistic expectations. No one is secure in their roles and this comes across in their leadership style. Information is currency and gossip is the number one commodity. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
A bit hostile. Encouraging and supportive leadership is hard to come by

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Long days. It feels like everyone is just trying not to make waves as to not upset upper management

Initially this was a great place to work, There were many people who had been at the company 20 to 30 years.  After Westfield was acquired, the culture changed.  The work hours became longer and the job stability declined.  Before COVID-19 there were several rounds of lay-offs.  Although the workforce decreased, the expectations did not.  It is very common to be at the office after 8:00 PM with many others still in the office.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Very difficult place to work. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The leaders aren't confident in their decisions. Too much second-guessing, which makes a hostile work environment.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Not good. Not friendly or concerned about employee development.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Long days, lots of meetings. Always reworking decks

Upper management is a memory of when everyone in real estate was doing well. Now that there’s more work the people who have isolated themselves from the responsibility are the only constant. They same ten upper managers are still in place while the business is going down the tubes. It was on their watch that the issues arose...Impossible that someone else is always to blame. Shameful really. 

There is very obvious lifestyle and culture war going on between the American HQ and the French HQ. The French working lifestyle and culture values is not accurately translating to the American culture thus causing tensions and a morale rift.

Not a great place for beginners looking for training, but if you have critical focus, communication and technical expertise you can expect a rewarding experience. It is a heavily ‘political’ organization so you must navigate people and their priorities well. Not a forgiving organization.

This was a great experience to support and grow the business through leasing in amazing assets in Northern California. The centers are managed exceptionally well and the company continues to invest in making all the centers best in class.

Overall a great experience while at URW. Positive engagement by Sr leadership - clear alignment on priorities and the importance of delivery. Huge focus on engagement and culture at the time, which may have changed slightly post merger with Unibail-Rodamco.

The constant turnover means more work, long hours, and stress.  Unfortunately, the accounting procedures are unclear and several managers have quit.  There are very few people left who can answer questions or understood the software.   Everyone is overwhelmed and looking to leave.  Save yourself and don’t apply.
