Pros

My role at The Onset has been pivotal in my career where I have not only grown professionally but also where I have found a workplace culture and vision that has given me purpose and enjoyment in my work. I have enhanced my knowledge and skills across Marketing with guidance from my managers and colleagues, as well as training and short courses being made available to me. I have also been able to branch out further with the support of team members and their expertise in the area, gaining knowledge across the tech industry and operations of the business in general. Everyday is interesting and challenging with a growth mindset at all levels. Trust, transparency and flexibility is supported across all teams, creating a collaborative space and the ongoing support to work on projects autonomously. We have an amazing group with passionate people and an awesome office to top it off. I look forward to continue being a part of evolving Onset's culture and brand.

Cons

Honestly, I'm drawing a blank. We even have a coffee machine and puppy visitors in the office...

Pros

New technologies, training opportunities available

Cons

At the onset (pun intended), The Onset is highly impressive with excellent branding and strong, inspiring leadership presence. The overall 'optics' are great. However, over time, issues began to surface. 1. Favoritism is evident, with hardworking individuals being overlooked and taken for granted. Employees are hired quickly and fired even faster, while favorites remain untouchable, even if their performance is questionable. 2. Some offshore consultants shift the burden to the Delivery Team when they cannot find a candidate, expecting the Team to perform miracles. 3. The engagement of the Delivery Team is often left to the Employer of Record, and they are frequently forgotten during company special events. 4. Some offshore consultants are hypocritical, pretending to be friendly, but speaking ill of their Delivery Team counterparts at the first opportunity. It's all an "act" unfortunately.

Pros

The team is fantastic! They genuinely function as a cohesive unit, with everyone consistently eager to assist and support one another.

Cons

It's a very hire-and-fire environment here. Every month, there are new faces coming in and others leaving. Newcomers don't seem to have much opportunity to accomplish anything. Management communicates in a highly condescending manner with the team. There's a significant issue with miscommunication, and it seems like management shows little care or respect towards the team. The environment is very micromanaged and heavily focused on KPIs, despite promises of a mature work atmosphere during the interview process. As a senior with expertise, you might find yourself constrained in your approach to work
