Pros

Amazing software, probably the best in the industry. I would recommend this product to anyone in the industry. JobAdder's number one priority is to have the most innovative recruitment software in the industry and I think they deliver.

Cons

Over a 200% attrition rate, at least in the US office. Check for yourself on LinkedIn. I did enjoy working there in the beginning, then it seemed like someone was either getting fired or quit every week, eventually it was my turn. I only say this because I think potential employees should be aware. Some do last, so you could be one of them. Pretty uncomfortable work environment, only because I felt like I could lose my job at any minute or the company could close their US office.

Pros

For as long as the "honeymoon period" lasts it's a really fun company to work for. JobAdder had fridge stocked full of beer.

Cons

Strictly a 8-5 work environment. Don't dare show up 2 minutes late or leave 2 minutes early as you could receive an earful. The company is unwilling to relinquish decision making power to the so called "smart people" they bring onboard to the various departments. There is a good chance every email or chat you ever send on a JobAddder computer is read by one of the owners. JobAdder is a company without a HR department, so you'll find yourself in extremely uncomfortable situations that are deemed ok because of a concept management calls "safe zone".

In 2014 we opened an office in Denver, setting out to reproduce the incredible business and culture we have built over 8 years. We hired some unbelievably good people but we also made some mistakes. We also made a couple of very poor hiring decisions. Divisiveness, malice and incompetence are not qualities we seek to attract or retain at JobAdder. We make absolutely no apologies for weeding these things out if and when they become apparent. We have a core team in the US who we are incredibly proud of. Aus/NZ is hitting it out of the park and the UK is growing. JobAdder grew top line revenue 40% in 2014/15. We have 11 cultures represented in our teams across 5 locations and we have a male/female ratio of 50/50. We are incredibly proud of the positive, energetic, happy, supportive people who represent our company and brand. We learned lots of great things from the 2014 Denver experience and we are a much better business for it..

Beware the Denver office. Take the positive reviews for the Denver office with a grain of salt.

Pros

Kitchen is stocked with alcohol. Staff is taken out for occasional drinks/food/outings. If you're in the customer service industry, this might be an enjoyable place to work, since the customer service industry as a whole tends to treat its employees extremely poorly.

Cons

The owners try to sell the Denver office as being relaxed and laid back but that's far from the truth. There's an atmosphere of fear in the office; people are afraid to speak openly because it may get them fired. The outings for drinks and/or food don't make up for the poor environment, especially when one of the owners has a very serious problem with alcohol. They claim to hire the best talent because they want everyone to contribute but they don't leverage that opportunity; not to mention that they provide zero feedback to their staff. Which leads me to the attrition rate, which is nothing less than atrocious. All of their technical staff (programmers, testers and graphic artists) were either fired without warning or have quit. Same goes with the sales staff, except for the one individual who was still employed on my last day. For their US operations to succeed, the company needs qualified, competent management in their Denver office. Unfortunately, the Bretts aren't able to meet that challenge. One thing to note: one of the owners is especially conscious of the company's image and encourages his staff to leave positive reviews on GlassDoor. Look for several extremely positive reviews posted on the same day or within a couple of days of each other.
