Vantaggi

There are some great people that work here.

Svantaggi

My experience aligns with the other reviews below. While my immediate team was made up of fantastic people but we were not set up for success by company management. Squad goals seemed to change on a whim, and if a feature didn’t achieve immediate success, it was abandoned entirely. The recent redundancy process—despite the company’s profitability—saw over 20 employees from product and engineering let go, leaving a sour taste among those remaining, many of whom are now looking to leave. The consultation period, which supposedly gave employees a chance to compete for their roles, appears to have been a sham. A clear pattern has since emerged: those let go had shorter notice periods than colleagues who remained in the same role, suggesting the company prioritised cost-cutting over fairness. For those who remain, previously advertised benefits such as unlimited holiday and Flexi-Friday have been removed and all pay reviews have been cancelled. Processes are being put in place which mean that those working in product will now be held responsible for the -continued- failures of the sales team. The company’s “values” are of no concern to senior leadership and are only used as a stick to beat the rank-and-file with. There is never any accountability for failures in direction or mismanagement and those responsible are simply shuffled around, inevitably leading to further failures down the line. For those considering applying all future roles will be advertised as hybrid, meaning new hires may be required to attend the office even if their entire team is fully remote. Good luck!

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We acknowledge the significant impact these changes have had on our existing employees. These changes were implemented to ensure the long-term viability of the business, providing stability going forward. The process was executed with an emphasis on fairness, transparency, and consistency for all affected employees. We have transitioned to a hybrid model in our Commercial departments, this is to enhance collaboration and communication, building on existing hybrid arrangements utilised by many team members. We extend our best wishes for your future endeavors. Sincerely, Pion

Vantaggi

Great immediate team that wants to do quality work.

Svantaggi

The level of nepotism within this company is deeply concerning and has severely eroded trust. I no longer feel there is a safe or honest environment to work in. Raising concerns is not encouraged or protected. The culture of forced positivity makes it unsafe to speak up, and employees who voice valid issues risk retaliation, including termination. I once genuinely loved my role and believed in the company, but over time the lack of consistency in leadership direction and goals has become impossible to ignore. The business operates in ways that feel unethical—misrepresenting information to clients and internally to benefit leadership financially, while the broader team is overworked, underappreciated, and burned out. This is, without question, the most dysfunctional organization I have worked for.
