Pros

Good staring salary but once the extra hours are considered then it really is very bog standard and you're behind competitor salaries after 2 years 2 days to work from home

Cons

Extremely toxic environment with a lack of training prevalent across all departments. The training for graduates consists of 3-5 year old powerpoint presentations done via video call - far behind what' you expect in today's age of technology. No certificates or accreditation's. The contract states the work day ends at 5:30 however there is a toxic fear culture where anyone leaving at 5:30pm is ostracised and thought of as being lazy - even if all work is completed. Many employees stay an extra 30 minutes - 60 minutes out of fear and will pretend to be working on something. There is a strong "every man for himself culture" with a heavy emphasis on a single point of failure. Brown nosing and staying quiet during controversial comments and opinions is all too common due to fear of backlash from senior management, This is evident even in company directors whom will bend over backwards to appease the execs - otherwise they risk losing their job due to an exec having a bruised ego or a bad day Huge lack of diversity - every "meaningful" director and C level executive is both male and of a single colour. There is a severe lack of gender diversity across the board and this is an extremely male dominated workplace. The most obvious red flag is the number of fake positive reviews - an extract from one is below - make your own decision as to whether you think a genuine employee from ANY company would write this. "if you're not willing to put in maximum effort on a regular basis, then you will really struggle to keep up with the pace in an environment where there are many hard working and talented people " - seriously does anyone believe that an actual employee wrote this ? what a huge lack of self awareness on Content Guru's part. The other red flag is all these positive reviews are suspiciously and unanimously stating that they are "struggling to think of any cons" Is that why the "recommend to a friend" rating is 3.3 stars out of 5 ? Could you imagine how bad the ratings would be if you remove these fake positives ? I urge to you look at these reviews and sort by "lowest rated" to get a clear picture. Evaluate the positive reviews and how truthful they seem and come to your own conclusion.

Pros

Our #1 ranked CSAT and 99.999% platform SLA gets a lot of attention. While we are newer to the US market, our experience globally is very apparent to people who are discovering us.

Cons

Lack of market awareness is challenging at times, but that's the same for any newer brand trying to break into a new region. We are making progress every day and the CCaaS space is starting to notice.

Pros

Good pay (slightly above market)

Cons

- Culture is toxic and overly critical. Management tends to micromanage and fixate on minor issues, while providing little training and expecting you to figure things out on your own. There’s very little support, and the constant scrutiny makes it hard to do your job confidently. - Collaboration is honestly a joke. Coworkers are often reluctant to take ownership of their responsibilities and tend to casually give attitude when you ask them to follow through. Basic teamwork sometimes feels like a challenge. - Feedback is mostly focused on mistakes, with little recognition when you actually do well, which makes it hard to feel valued. Overall, expectations feel inconsistent, and it often seems like no matter what you do, it’s never enough. It’s the kind of environment where morale stays low and people are more focused on avoiding blame than actually doing good work.
