Svantaggi
Everything - can't pin point to one!
In my 24 years of professional experience, this has undoubtedly been the most dysfunctional and unprofessional company I've encountered.
Leadership, particularly the CTO, exhibits a hostile and authoritarian style, dismissing all feedback, suggestions, or input from the team. Clients are frequently disparaged behind their backs with derogatory terms, while the company aggressively pursues payments despite consistently missing project timelines and deliverables.
Professionalism is virtually nonexistent—in interactions with both employees and clients. Basic processes and standards appear lacking, to the point where even a small independent garage would likely operate with greater structure and accountability.
Nearly all employees and projects are outsourced to South Africa to minimize costs, leaving only 2-3 staff based in the UK. Compensation is significantly below market rates, with frequent delays in payroll and no bonuses (understandably, given the company's apparent cash flow issues).
For the company to have any chance of long-term survival and restoring a functional work environment, replacing the CTO would be an essential first step.
P.S.: If you are seeking employment - do not be swayed by reassuring or overly optimistic statements from the team—the working environment frequently results in employees feeling fundamentally unsuited and disillusioned.
If you are a customer - please do yourself a favor and look somewhere else.
