      Was great for first three years, now awful

      Pros

      In the early days, when Hive was distinct from centrica, it was a great place to work. A few misteps in agile and a lack of direction in senior management but generally fun, innovative, and with a positive culture. That's all gone now but the central london offices are good.

      Cons

      Centrica didn't know what they had and killed Hive by taking over and applying its own obsolete mentality to what was a promising start-up. Nowadays Hive is Centrica with a better logo.

      Pros

      Really friendly place with good benefits

      Cons

      The senior management don't have a clue. The strategy changes every three months. Important decisions are made on a whim and with no consideration of the implications. We are having another round of redundancies now with 40% of the staff going, but the targets (which we couldn't hit before) are unchanged. There is no way this is going to end well.

      Chaos!

      Pros

      Ability to work from home.

      Cons

      Where to start.. Poor decisions in the past have impacted on the products performance, leading to high failure rates. Management are too reactive and theres not one of them with a decent long term plan. Too much is asked of everyone and if you dare to question anything you are labelled as “negative”. The bonus critera at year end was literally a popularity contest rather than a true reflection of your performance, if your manager liked you played a big part in this too.
