Business Outlook

Pros

Company is scaling rapidly, share price is an attractive benefit.

Cons

No real formalized staff development programmes, reviews are hit and miss, people are promoted due to length of service rather than capability. Business also seems to be behind the curve with regards to flexible working as a perk, working from home is frowned upon even though the car park lacks sufficient space for all colleagues. No car allowance, bonus scheme....

If you don't fit the culture, you will never be happy

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Extreme cutting edge technology(for now) and lots to learn. Good benefits package and casual dress code. CEO is very capable and is building a strong company. Good for young engineers to cut their teeth in.

Cons

Huge cliquish culture. If you don't fit in, you will never belong and will be miserable. At best you get ignored or worse, completely ostracized. Jealousy between colleagues happens a lot. People will know what grade you are and they extrapolate on your benefits package based on that. Certain personality types will not fit into the culture. If you don't fit in with the managers idea of what is an ideal employee, be prepared for performance management plans with lofty goals which you have no idea of how to attain. Poor opportunities for growth or promotion, people with the weirdest people skills are promoted. HR seems to face significant turnover and feels highly inexperienced so don't expect experienced HR to help you out. Very poor work-life balance. Made worse by a policy of literally forbidding working from home, even though the software suites and working tools makes it very easy to work from home. Strong distrust ferments among colleagues if you ever win this concession.
