Hello I’m Michael, the CEO of the Company. This was an extremely painful review for me to read, obviously. While the discussions I have every single day with people up and down the Company convince me that we have a generally happy and productive team, even one person feeling she or he has been bullied is one too many, and I feel very bad about that. Two years ago, we conducted an acquisition of a new site and team a hundred miles away from our head office, and integrating the team into a business with as fast-paced a culture as Alloyed proved difficult, and we lost a small number of people who found the pace hard. On reflection, I didn’t intervene as fast as I should have done, and I suspect the circumstances behind this review were a result of that. As of today, I’m glad to say that those that are comfortable with the pace appear to be thriving. But we do need to take measures to make sure that our people management processes evolve as we grow, and that we make sure we listen more and more carefully for any signals which suggest everyone is not as content as they seem at first sight. We’re shortly to be instituting a quick anonymous welfare survey to make sure we catch issues early. The other thing we’ll do is use Glassdoor as a further anonymous feedback platform which we’ll encourage employees to post on, freely and honestly. I hope this will be the worst review we’ll ever get, but I’m sure we’ll learn more about what we can do better, and I look forward to that.

Vantaggi

// Responsibility: I was trusted with project deliverables from day 1, even in my first year after graduation. A huge positive if you are ambitious and seek ownership of your work. // Management: Fantastic support from managers and CEO. Sometimes great support has meant telling me what I could have done better, followed by a “well done” after I put in the work and made the improvement. I am grateful to have colleagues who challenge me to think deeply. // Development: My career goals have been enabled. When I have been seeking a change or new challenge, an opportunity has been found, allowing me to grow. // Achievements: Professional achievements and personal milestones have been celebrated by my colleagues in very genuine ways throughout my time at Alloyed. I do not doubt the deep level of care my peers and managers have for me and my career. // Customers: Alloyed’s customer list is comprised of the biggest and best companies in the world. It is something I feel proud to have been part of building. // Diversity: Whilst it is quite typical for an engineering company to have < 50% female staff, I can say with confidence that 99% of my male colleagues have never treated me differently.

Svantaggi

Alloyed will not suit everyone. For those of us who thrive here, it is a uniquely rewarding place to work.

Vantaggi

Cutting edge technology. Competitive salary (especially for early on in career) Fantastic confluence page for training on processes that are very specific to Alloyed. Supportive HR team that seem to genuinely care about their employees, especially considering how few people work in HR. Necessarily strict H&S practices and approachable H&S team that allows the individual to query any processes they're concerned about without judgement. Very approachable CEO who seems down to earth. Fantastic (optional) healthcare benefits and extremely competitive pension scheme.

Svantaggi

'Unpaid' overtime is sometimes required to hit tight deadlines however the salaries are competitive and working elsewhere at a slower pace would likely entail recieving a lower salary. Your work focus/project can be changed very quickly dependent on company focus (pro insofar that working on one thing too long doesn't become stale but could be considered a con if you're enjoying what you're currently doing and get moved onto something else at short notice)
