Pros

Most of the people are great to work with, free fruit and coffee when the machine works. Award scheme can be good

Cons

You are expected to work 12 to 15+ hours shifts every month end, aggressive management style and micro management observed.

Pros

The company offers strong compensation and good employee perks, and there are many talented and hardworking people across the organisation. However, the leadership culture creates significant operational and people-related challenges.

Cons

Decision-making is highly top-down, with major organisational and team decisions often made without involving the managers or teams who have direct operational knowledge or understanding of day-to-day realities. This frequently leads to unnecessary disruption, shifting priorities and reduced trust within teams. There also appears to be a lack of mature leadership capability at senior levels. Some directors seem insufficiently experienced for the complexity of the organisation, while strategic direction is heavily centralised around the CEO. Senior leaders tend to align with decisions rather than constructively challenge them, which can limit healthy debate and balanced decision-making. Engineering teams are generally well compensated, but workloads can be excessive and sustained pressure appears to be normalised. Burnout and stress-related absence are common, and while wellbeing is discussed, the operational culture does not consistently support sustainable working practices in reality. The company may suit people who thrive in fast-moving, high-pressure environments and are primarily motivated by compensation and benefits. However, for those seeking psychologically safe leadership, operational maturity, collaborative decision-making and sustainable pace, it may not be the best long-term fit.

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective and for recognizing the talented people, compensation, and benefits that are part of the employee experience at Workhuman. As our business continues to evolve and mature, we recognize the importance of balancing speed, alignment, and effective decision-making. Growth and change can sometimes create challenges around communication, prioritization, and how decisions are experienced across the organization. We are working to address and support our humans in these areas. While we have grown into a global enterprise business, we remain committed to operating with agility and moving quickly in response to our customers and the market. That pace can create complexity and may not suit everyone's preferred way of working, but we believe it is an important part of how we continue to innovate and deliver impact. We also know that sustainable performance matters. While many employees are energized by the pace and opportunity to influence meaningful work, we remain focused on creating an environment where people can grow, contribute, and do their best work over the long term. We appreciate your feedback and hope you get to see the change as we continue to mature as an organization.

Pros

The rewards scheme is a nice bonus. Worked with some great people.

Cons

The management is definitely the worst I've ever seen. Everyone is looking out for themselves and will happily throw you under the bus to save their skin. This probably is influenced by which department you're in but my experience was awful. I would strongly recommend no one work there unless they want to be constantly gaslit and undermined by the most incompetent people you're ever likely to meet. Used to be a nice place with nice people but I slowly watched the culture become a lot more toxic and I imagine that it's only gotten worse.
