Pros

Great staff who create miracles despite the mushroom treatment.

Cons

Other posts like this one "...People who joined the company with the aim of transforming the way of working or implementing structure either gave up and left or were terminated when they didn't see eye to eye with the existing management...." was exactly my experience. I received many complimentary messages when I was terminated eg "...You won’t believe I have tears in my eyes. This is not motivating us to work for fourth anymore. We had so much hopes. We never had a manager whom we liked so much and had the comfort level, most of all you gave us hopes to work differently. Don’t understand where fourth is leading.... "

Whilst I am very pleased you have recognised our incredible employees, I am of course disappointed to hear about your experience at Fourth. One of the things we are super proud of is that our technology has the ability to actually transform businesses and the customer experience. For this reason, we always strive to bring that same quality to the way we approach challenges, how we improve our structure/processes and generally how we make Fourth a better company for our customers and our employees. If you would like to talk about this in more detail, please feel free to contact me directly.

Pros

Still some of the old culture their being driven by certain individuals Huge suite of functionality

Cons

Merger ripped out the culture and there were a number of leavers and redundancies even before covid. Then covid hit and they had another excuse to rip out teams. Furlough was barely used and now they're desperately trying to recruit again. Those that were left picked up all the work. Many of the management have very little interest in their teams or coaching. Customers are no longer looked after like they used to be. Constant bugs and niggles with the solutions

Pros

Exposure to a large variety of situations and access to senior leadership. Good stepping stone and place to start your career when you have little expectations. not a place to stay long term. Working hours are good.

Cons

Very poor management and no clear sens of direction. Expectations are not set properly. Unnecessary layers of management with some managers that are overworked and other that are not doing anything at all. The tech is old and the industry is cheap. I don’t think I ever got excited about the tech (appart for Adaco which is old but at least it’s powerful). C-level stuck in the past and not open to diversity. Diversity is not a priority. The company is managed by white men in their 40’s-50’s and it shows throughout the business’s mentality. Poor culture - very political and based on how many pints you drink at the pub. A drinking culture at work is not a good culture. Values are not lived, they are stuck on the wall.
