Hive reviews

So little structure that no-one knows what's going on most of the time Too much short term thinking on loads of matters - too many contractors in positions that should have permanent people; too many plans rushed through without being thought out about the consequences; and so on - everything is just rushed through with no real thought being given to it

- 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.
