Vantaggi

During my employment at Phocas, I liked the work and collaboration with my immediate product team. The team has good support from each other and is working on a new product landscape. There are plenty of car parks, suitable office space, a fun office atmosphere, and a creative intention to uplift the office culture with a food cart trolley every so often.

Svantaggi

The senior management seems to suffer from ADHD problems with frequent looking to find the "next big thing". Forming a "new task force" team from already limited human resources while expecting product teams to keep delivering new work and features and questioning why it is taking so long! Several positions were vacated with no desire to refill. From the development perspective, the head of engineering is powerless over the head of products, which means technical debts build up and gain interest without any sight of reducing them. There is a strong sense of favouritism and nepotism among a few people, often resulting in ignoring others with concerns about better processes or improvements. Some have since left the company because it no longer brings enthusiasm to work there.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review—we appreciate your detailed feedback. We’re proud of our supportive, collaborative culture and are thrilled that you experienced that within your product team. We acknowledge that things move quickly here, as we embrace a ‘fail fast’ approach to foster innovation. Spinning up new teams to explore fresh ideas is part of our strategy, and while it’s an exciting process, we understand it may not suit everyone. We also recognize the importance of addressing technical debt and improving internal tools and systems. Striking the right balance between innovation and maintenance is an ongoing challenge, and we truly value your perspective on this. Your insights will help us continue to refine our approach and improve.
