Pros

Involvement in a wide range of tasks, working with some talented colleagues

Cons

This review, along with the others which don't sing Wejo's praises, will be dismissed as an aggrieved employee but in reality it reflects the opinions of many in the business. There are significant issues in the business, namely communication. Nobody knows what the strategic objectives are one day to the next, projects are started and stopped at the drop of a hat but none of this is ever communicated. It makes it difficult to feel you are doing a good job when you get crucial information 3rd hand. There have been multiple successful rounds of investment, great! However, these are followed by ill thought through plans and money wasted over and over again followed by yet more redundancies. It is frankly disgusting to see colleagues and friends lose their jobs every few months with no acknowledgement of the impact that has on them and on those of us left to pick up the pieces. The people remaining are working like dogs to compensate for the staff that were let go along with inefficient systems and processes, battling with no time or money to improve them. It is simply not sustainable and morale is extremely low. Every deadline is yesterday with no concept that we just can't keep up the pace when there are so few of us. Considering there are so few employees left after the last cull, you might expect senior management would be more visible. In reality, they are shut away in their own little world raising yet more funds to squander. I certainly would not advise taking a job at Wejo currently and I wish I could say differently, it has such potential but will never reach it with the current state of the leadership team.
