Hive reviews

- Senior management is so keen on making money quick to show Centrica how successful (not) Hive is and therefore delivering a crap experience throughout, that they are actually diminishing the value of the brand. - The head of product is a contractor, as well as 90% of the development teams for all platforms, and a big number on design, product and marketing. This is a massive issue, because most of them don't care about the long term goals of the product. - There is no such thing as innovation and where there is, it doesn't come out to the market until it's too late and another company gets there first. - No clear direction about what Hive is trying to achieve in the long run. - Agile? What is that? - Salary disparity is ridiculous. People on same teams can have 70% salary difference while doing the same job and having the same title.

SLT have completely lost touch with customers. Whilst they focus on profit and cost-cutting, the stability of products and services, reputation of the brand and customer satisfaction are suffering. Staff are stretched to their limits with little or no recognition for their efforts or achievements. The company has grown well beyond a start-up, yet continues to operate in a disjointed and haphazard fashion which is stressful for everyone. I had the constant feeling that at any moment it could all come crashing down.
