Vantaggi
The technical platform is challenging and high-volume. The city office was well located, in Tower 42. Engineers had good laptops, whiteboards…
Svantaggi
Very immature management team, all 3 founders. The CEO seems more interested in golfing and getting interviewed on TV than to keep clients; we lost our biggest contract when I was there and it led to a huge chunk of the company being laid off immediately. The work environment is emergency-driven with impossible deadlines and outdated tech, with the belief that reinventing the wheel using a poor technical stack (PHP for backend batch processing) was a good use of time in a start-up. There is a serious lack of respect from managers and directors, who feel free to shout and play music in the shared open plan. I stayed less than a year at Telemetry, with many of my colleagues leaving too.
