Unrealistic expectations

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The office atmosphere is positive and the coworkers are friendly. Good benefits as well as flexibility with working at home/office.

Cons

- The company continuously focuses to be at the top of the industry while seemingly disregarding the brunt of its own staff dissatisfaction(s). - Many employees do the work of 3 or 4. Unrealistic expectations (with little to no planning on implementation) are unfairly placed upon the staff while changes are not given the reasonable time to be implemented. - Good luck in receiving positive feedback from management when you do the equivalent of parting the Red Sea.

Overall experience still needs improvement.

Pros

- You get to work along side with some talented people. - Part of the company culture is to encourage open dialogue with management, take risks - don't be afraid of failure, and think outside the box. - The work environment is relaxed and I would say becoming similar to other big tech companies.

Cons

- Once young talent is hired, not enough coaching to take to the next level. In general, once you're hired, there's not enough development. There are resources made available, but don't have the time to take advantage. - There is not much job security. As the company grows, there are many changes / reorganizations. - The flip side of encouraging employees in taking risks -- if you don't succeed, you are not look upon favorably. There is too much pressure and little time to make mistakes. - Although the culture is to have open dialogue (from worker bees going up the chain), I don't see this happening as most people I've seen are afraid to go to their managers to discuss problems. - There is not much opportunity to be promoted. However, there are more opportunities to move laterally.

Individually everyone's great but there's a lot of broken promises

Pros

A lot of the people are friendly and nice to work with. Socialising is fun and the new office is great.

Cons

Management make promises and then backtrack on them. Teams are constantly being reorganised so no-one really knows who to speak to about certain things. Pay rises are next-to-nothing and trying for a promotion is also like herding cats.
