Vantaggi

- Excluding management, you will find great people - Good-looking office - Free snacks in the kitchen - Free gym membership

Svantaggi

- Good news if you are a Queen fan, you will be listening to a loud gong followed by the full track of "We are the champions" or "We will rock you" every single time a sale is made, over and over and over and over.... - Work volume increases above team capacity but don't expect them to hire more people - Forget about overtime pay, it's not going to happen, however your help might be requested at improbable hours - Unhappy employees quit regularly every month - Tendency to hire youngsters to manipulate, underpay and sometimes even put in charge of small teams and let their inexperience affect teams performance - Micro-management here is embarrassing, you will find yourself reporting to supervisors (sometimes less qualified than you) on a daily basis - Management suffers from omnipotence and omniscience syndromes - The company is a family business, or dictatorship I should say - I would not be able to indicate who is the most sociable member of the family - Make sure to be on the "favourite employees" list and worship your lords if you hope to progress your career - No idea on how to handle products, no time for maintenance and introducing new functionalities is preferred over fixing what is broken - You will be requested to report every single moment of your working day, the majority of time is spent in reports (or pointless meetings) rather than actual concrete work - Team building activities are not for everybody, it depends on favouritism - Good luck talking to the CEO, especially if your ideas differ from his own - Beware of positive reviews left on Glassdoor for this company, they were demanded by topside

Vantaggi

I found the role very satisfying. The team were all lovely, bar one. Lots of snacks in the office.

Svantaggi

I worked under the CSM, and although it was joked about in the office that she has somewhat of a 'strict teacher' energy, my experience (which led to my dismissal) wasn't so much of a joke. I was put under a probationary review after some points were raised about my conduct (including taking time to attend medical appointments, for which I provided doctors notes and as much notice as possible). Since this review I was required to provide a minute by minute account of my day, which was held under scrutiny the following morning. No positive feedback, no progression plan, just passive aggressive comments if I were to make a mistake - which people do sometimes. This eventually led to a meeting which was organised 24 hours ahead of time, with HR in attendance - where I was told my performance wasn't meeting expectation. No clear expectations were set. One weeks pay in lieu, and dismissal effective immediately. I've been made to feel like not only was I bad at the job, which I don't believe was the case, but like I'd done something wrong. I was dismissed on a WFH day, away from my colleagues. All my accesses to my email or slack or other software was removed by the time I'd clicked off the meeting.No handover, no notice. There was zero compassion, understanding nor discussion from my boss throughout this process, and everything was said with a wry smile on her face. Honestly the worst experience I've had with a manager. Also there's no pool table at the new office.
