Pros

There are competent, good people there.

Cons

The management level is occupied largely by incompetents who blame everyone but themselves for poor performance. They keep throwing stuff at you piecemeal, and I've seen departments simply refuse to take projects from managers because the managers didn't bother to consider anyone's workload or schedule.

I was surprised to see this feedback. Firstly because the business is performing very well and secondly because one of the things we pride ourselves in is a ‘no-blame’ culture. I cannot claim that management don’t make mistakes, but I can say that we have a long-serving and highly experienced management team who I believe care greatly about the teams with whom they work. I can also say that I am personally available to talk to anyone who feels that they have had a negative experience at Fishawack (preferably before they leave but also afterwards). Please feel free to reach out to me or if you prefer to talk to our HR team, then please contact them on HR@fishawack.com. Oliver Dennis Chief Executive Officer

Pros

- Good PTO with paid closure from Christmas to New Years - The people that actually do the work are wonderful to work with, incredibly talented and intelligent, and truly care about the work they are doing

Cons

This is one of the most toxic places I’ve ever worked. Burnout is extremely high. Everything is being done to prop the company up to make it look attractive to investors, but it is creating extremely dissatisfied employees and clients at the expense of this. Don’t believe anything they say about the company values. Your job is to produce and don’t ask questions. Layoffs are frequent and done without thought or understanding of how the work gets done. Remaining team members are left to pick up the slack and try to explain to clients why deadlines are missed and quality is declining. If you value your physical and mental health, do whatever you can to avoid working at this place. The ship is sinking…don’t get on.
