Pros

1. CEO cares about people 2. Co-workers truly do care about your success and growth 3. Ideas and collaboration are encouraged 4. Quick promotion opportunities (based on role and need) 5. Company invests in their people by doing regular meetups 6. Generous PTO

Cons

1. Feedback loops to management don't seem to spur change; client volume worldwide is too high for there to be time to devote to other parts of the business. Not a great model and overloads the Support team. 2. Toxic positivity; don't paint a picture of something being good when it isn't. There are things that suck about a job. It's okay to say so. Not every change is exciting. 3. Faulty strategy for North America sales which led to hiring too quickly and resulted in eventual layoffs. More communication about the layoffs as well (as to why) 4. Not a well-oiled operation when it comes to communication around benefits/healthcare. The Benefits Coordinator for the US isn't a good person for the job and the rest of the HR team has been told this on a few occasions. 5. Many, many items about the software itself are ancient. Doing body work on a car only changes the color. Your clients eventually figure out that there are combustion problems with the engine.

Thank you for taking the time to provide such detailed feedback. It was a difficult decision to shift and pivot some of our priorities as a business. There are plenty of learnings we took away from the process. I wish you all the best in your next move!

Pros

Small enough team that people mostly got along. Base salary was not bad.

Cons

Very limited voice. Constant fear of being fired due to how management would interact with you. They did not fully understand who did what in the team. Did not show equal appreciation to all parties involved in releasing a quality product. Alcohol consumption was very encouraged. You would be shamed if you did not drink. Strict 8:30 - 5:30 work day. I am fine with the length of the work day but flexibility of start and end time would have been nice. Benefits were lacking in quality and quantity. That would be fine if the company gave a plus elsewhere such as schedule but it did not.

Thanks for your review. You are right in that cultures can vary from office to office, so we have worked hard to ensure everyone at JA understands our core company culture. This includes all employees coming to Sydney at least once a year to get to know the whole team. In the year since you were there a lot has changed and we are extremely happy with the team we have in the US now. Thanks again for your input and all the best.
