Not a good startup to work with - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso StepChange

* Work life balance - subjective to department or function * Thrown in to the deep end, great oportunity to learn * Exceptional colleagues

Leadership: especially the Founders - always preach 'we appreciate feedback', but in receiving any opposing or critical feedback they have a 'defend & deflect' approach. In addition to this, perhaps, what fuels this thought process is the filtered feedback loop from the second level of leaders who never highlight the problems their specific department or the product is facing. One of these leaders is infamously notorious for v.poor eNPScores from the respective department. The so called product being built is no where near industry standard, although they claim it is.Peers are far ahead. Most of the work is not done by the tool and instead done by presenting fancy decks, hardworking back end human resources and dashboards. The CEO, is also a 2 faced, superficial person. Perfect example of don't judge a book by it's cover. A lot of colleagues had joined the company because of his impressive background, and, interestingly also left because of him. My advice to potential investors would be: Please do your due diligence, don't fall for the sweet talk and fancy decks. Speak to: * Existing clients (of your choice, not handpicked by the founders) and, specifically the person overseeing work using stepchange's product. * Past & Present employees (of your choice, not handpicked by the founders) of the company. Lot of options to choose from the former. This will help paint a clearer picture, following which you can decide what to do with your hard earned money.

good pr, decent network and customers though most will leave. good colleagues but everybody has gone.

very very bad leaders, no connection with people, promote aggro characters with bad behaviour, product is never working and has so many output errors, teams are overloaded, have finished all money and are firing left right centre
