Vantaggi
Tech team really approachable and a good bunch A lot of talented and passionated staff. Talent acquisition have done a good job finding these people. (Shame management team don't allow it to be brought to use)
Svantaggi
Toxic CEO and very poor management culture. Tell the CEO what he wants to hear (that you can make him a lot of money) and he'll change the company direction pretty much overnight. Engage in debate, flag challenges / concerns and you fast become blacklisted. Very little startup experience in C-Suite team. Nice people individual but they're mostly from corporate backgrounds. This lack of understanding / appreciation of the journey in an early stage startup is really problematic. Edtech video market is highly competitive and Boclips have no USP. Amassing videos which are mostly freely available on YouTube and trying to package it into a paid for product isn't in the spirit of the edtech movement. Ethical questions on the sales approach with messaging focusing heavily on schools infringing copyrights and being at risk of lawsuits - this is completely fabricated. Almost all the video providers to Boclips have an educational fair usage policy allowing teachers to use their content in classrooms for free. CEO talks very badly about former employees if they leave the company at every opportunity.
