Pros

I was called by a recruiter today, who told me he had a better job for me… I could only laugh… He went on to explain who this fantastic company was and I just laughed harder… Before coming here, I had worked in HR Technology for 12 years, with some huge brands. I'm a tech obsessive and work in technology because I love great technology. After being let down by companies focused on sales and not customers, showing a complete lack of understanding of how SaaS as a model works, I was determined to finally find a company that didn't disappoint me on key criteria. I searched over 6 months and reviewed 150 companies, only 5 met my criteria and Phenom People was the clear winner. Criteria I was looking for: • Fast growth company • Cutting edge technology - (either Machine Learning or Blockchain) to solve typical problems • Visionary CEO - with a focus and determination to succeed • Happy Customers - high NPS • Solid and provable ROI • Product (not sales) focused - because that just makes our job easier! • Management that listen to those of us out talking to customers • Great culture Reasons you should come here: • 65% of Phenom's employees are developers! This is truly a product company. • Less than 4% are sales • Phenom had a customer success team - 2 full years before they considered an account management team! • We don't just have customers who love Phenom - we have evangelists and obsessives… • The platform is truly groundbreaking - 5 years ahead of anything on the market &in a couple of years, everyone will have heard of Phenom & you will wish you had joined If these are important to you, then look no further. At Phenom, I didn't find another job, I found a second family and everyone here is pushing to transform an entire industry. Focused, passionate and truly groundbreaking - stop your search now.

Cons

It is hard work! You need to be able to educate your client on a technology that is entirely unique, to understand how huge an impact it will have. You will work very long hours to achieve this but it's rewarding work.

Pros

Phenom offers exceptional flexibility with unlimited PTO and minimal micromanagement. The benefits are top-tier, and the free food in the office is a great perk. Overall, it’s a very employee-friendly environment that values autonomy.

Cons

There is a significant lack of direction within the CV team, with constantly shifting priorities and inconsistent delivery cycles. Methods and tools change frequently, and data collection is manual and inconsistent, frustrating both clients and employees. Furthermore, there is a lack of knowledge sharing between teams, which exacerbates inefficiencies. Leadership also lacks a clear vision for the department’s future, and there is no intuitive framework to streamline processes or deliver value more efficiently, creating ongoing friction for the team.
