Vantaggi

I have nothing good to say about this place, truly awful.

Svantaggi

Worst place I've ever worked and regret applying. I’d give it 0 stars if I could. Be very skeptical of the positive reviews and read the negative ones carefully, they are right on the money. Firstly, there are no benefits to working for this company. No company benefits, no sick pay and the threat of withholding pay in the contract. They present remote work as a benefit but the managing director's awful way of managing remote teams makes remote work a misery. News flash remote working is no longer a benefit or unique within our industry. The place is completely devoid of good practice. They're about as agile a narcoleptic goat. This is reflected in their god-awful internal products that aren't fit for purpose. Projects are far from interesting, it's just an agency doing drudge work. You are better off working as a contractor. How they work is isolating, team collaboration is non-existent, communication is dreadful, and the managing director has zero interest in hearing about how to improve things. It was a relief to get out.

We are very upfront and clear with everyone we hire regarding the nature of the company and the work that we do, and we have a thorough recruitment process to do our best to ensure a good fit on both sides. That said, we are quite perplexed at your description, as it does not match up with the reality of team life here. If you don't like the kind of projects we work on that's totally fine - but we have a engaging team culture, with good comms, and regular feedback to leadership on things that are needed or improvements that can be made - and that feedback gets listened to, and acted upon. If you did work here then we apologise that it wasn't to your liking, but we'd also comment that it's important to get involved in communication yourself, make friends with colleagues, and put forward ideas for improvements. This would be the best approach, and is what has worked well for the other members of the team. We are disappointed by the extent of inaccuracy in your review - we do encourage people to leave honest reviews, but it's a shame that you've decided not to do that. There are always good and bad things from an individual perspective, and we would have preferred to have read a more thoughtful, balanced review. It's impossible to be a perfect match for everyone, so we hope that you are happy wherever you are working now, and wish you all the best.

Vantaggi

There are no pros to this company, would give it zero stars if I could

Svantaggi

An ingrained culture of bullying and belittling. The CEO is an unpleasant character, and no one will stand up to him. There is always someone within the company who is the current 'target', this person will be fired and their reputation dragged through the mud, At which point a new person will become a target and the process starts again. There are odd processes in place that make no sense to anyone, a lot of in house systems that are not fit for purpose, but everyone is made to use them No doubt there will be a reply questioning my integrity, which is absolutely impeccable.
