Pros

There are a lot of suffering engineers so we formed a group that has each other's shoulders

Cons

Haven't you read enough? Absolutely no career growth with below industry standard pay. Work work balancer. Feels like working in a sweatshop for IT. I just quit. CEO was told to not micromanage by board of directors. Lol.

Thank you for your feedback. As you have stated you are a current employee, I would welcome a catch up before you leave the business so that we can talk through your reasons as, in talking with team leads, we haven’t had this specific feedback relayed to us in recent exit conversations. Please feel free to chat with me when I am in the office this week. Alternatively, I am sure you are aware there is an anonymous feedback box in the office, you can write to me directly there.

Pros

Made good friends. A lesson learnt.

Cons

Bunch of clowns running shows they shouldn’t be. Hire senior people with creative titles and lacking experience. Long hours. Contradictions. Micro management. Poor leadership. Compliance loopholes everywhere. Sensitive data leakages via social media channels.

Thank you for your feedback. It is hard to decipher from your comment what level of leadership you are referring to, however, we are proud to say that we have a highly experienced and skilled leadership team, we seek to engage leaders who bring a unique skillset to their role. We don’t think the titles attributed to these roles are particularly creative, being that they are fairly standard across technology businesses such as ours, but creativity is subjective. We aim to provide an open and collaborative work environment, and whilst we acknowledge that as we are growing rapidly there is a lot of room for improvement, we are actively working to address issues raised by team members. As in any fast growth business, there is a need to pivot rapidly and while some may see this as contradiction, we view this as agility. We are proud of how hardworking our team is, but to liken our workspace to a sweatshop is quite extreme. We offer flexible work arrangements, generous parental leave, and have an office decked out with high-end fittings, table tennis, a loaded snack cupboard, designer coffee, and frequent team events. We can also confidently assure that our compliance team works diligently to ensure we meet required standards and we are unaware of any compliance ‘loopholes’. If you were aware of any compliance risks or data leaks during your time with the business, you were required to report this under your employment agreement.

Pros

Nice location, nice office. Flexible, agile (for now) dev infrastructure. Snacks & soda & coffee

Cons

Poor middle/senior management, and a micromanage CEO. No career path. Turn over rate is high.
