Career hindering

Pros

Some brilliant minds and great people there, but they leave quickly. The concept could work, but the delivery is poor all round.

Cons

I experienced discrimination and witnessed serval discriminating issue. In my opinion there is a grave culture problem, one in which the senior management are not interested in resolving and see it as a non issue. The company strategies are very poorly run with consistent direction changes and the staff turn over is astounding. Revenue is dangerously low and there is a moral issue with the truth of what is on reported. All round I would seriously consider any other option before looking at Wejo. The tech and data science world is huge these days, that and considering it is a candidates market at the moment, there are plenty of other options that will be a greater place to work. Wejo also asks employees just as they join to add a glassdoor review and they put pressure on them, following up over and over, as well as include it in the induction steps. So you will see a lot of these are done before anyone really has their foot in the door. A lot of the senior team come from money super market or other backgrounds which have old fashioned cultures and ways of working. Although the concept and solutions are future thinking, the company is certainly not run that way and it hinders their potential.

Constant uncertainty and structure changes

Pros

*Office environment pre COVID had a family feel *Good investment in qualifications & training (if you ask) *Most people friendly and helpful *Company events paid for (when they took place)

Cons

Where do I start 🤦‍♀️: *HR think they’re God *No transparency on salaries or salary ranges *CEO says he’s always available, but not a peek out of him during furlough or redundancy *Constant changes in structure without notice *Hiring and firing on a whim at all levels *Hiring people because they are friends *Original team from when company first formed are protected (they’re all kept safe from redundancy, reported inappropriate behaviour etc.) *CEO constantly changes his mind on what strategy to follow *Sycophants that treat the CEO and his Team like the Emperor with New clothes *Company wastes money on impractical things (giant white (elephant) Lego room anyone... ) rather than buying fit for purpose desks and chairs *Every year for at least the last two years the company has culled its workforce, this year COVID handed them their third culling opportunity on a plate *Role opportunities advertised and withdrawn regularly due to the number of structure changes New employees beware, it’s all fun and games until something hits the fan. Please believe me, during your tenure something definitely will hit and stick, the company has high churn for a reason.

Pros

- Great team environment - Not micromanaged - People are constantly willing to help one another out

Cons

- Both offices in Chester and Manchester are barely used with a lack of office atmosphere - No progression path or development - HR processes are slow - Lack of direction by SLT (contradictory business objectives) - Lots of people leaving - When issues are raised with HR Partners things are shot down, or the blame is passed resulting in no real attempt to help you
