Pros

4 day week A lot of highly skilled engineers - especially in Belfast Interesting Product - they just aren't sure where to go with it

Cons

Excessive micromanagement Lack of trust or autonomy Weak, bullying leadership fostering a more toxic environment Overwhelming and rigid processes Poor communication Engineering and waterfall project-driven, not product-driven Minimal product strategy focused solely on a few "must-not-lose" customers Little to no focus on solving problems for a broader customer base Endless planning cycles with no clear overarching strategy Mastery of Google Sheets seems more valued than actual skills The CEO is out of touch with the product direction and internal operations Ineffective and disengaged HR No real career or growth opportunities unless you're part of the leadership circle or a referral from Ekata The business feels stagnant and is struggling to find growth—further constrained by the four-day workweek, which limits opportunities and risks the wrong people leaving were it to be reversed,

As your review versus other reviews shows, individual experiences can vary significantly across a company of our size, but we regularly collect comprehensive employee feedback through various channels to try to inform our continuous improvement efforts and focus on the things that will make the most impact. We're committed to empowering each employee while providing tailored support based on their individual expertise and maturity level, helping them advance their career and grow with the organization. Ultimately, though, I truly regret that you didn't feel the benefit of these things and that you didn't have the experience we strive for here and your points are definitely received.

Pros

Well-resourced, early days, people seem excited and happy to be there. HR very organized.

Cons

When I was there, they required weekly check-ins with your manager to rate how you were feeling every week. This is a good idea in theory, but if you are having issues with your manager, it can be very awkward since that is the only person you have an opportunity to share with.
