Great colleagues Good location Excellent technical support staff and a professional group of employees not matched by Senior management

No strategic vision for the company Colleagues jobs recycled to suit CEO's 'latest fad' Treat potential employees very poorly with unprofessional recruitment techniques CEO needs to step down Made many people redundant recently without any explanation

People who do not live our values don't last long in our business. Online bullying is something we teach against. It's a pity people don't put a name to their comments - shows you what cowards are out there trolling the internet.

Pros

I'm sick of seeing the fake 5* reviews that flood this platform every time a genuine 1* review is posted. No one who has ever worked at Webanywhere would give it 5*, except for Sean Gilligan. Actual pro - good progression (mainly because management kept leaving so someone has to fill the vacuum). Stick around long enough and you'll be one of the longest serving and senior members of the team. Promotion is almost guaranteed at that point. You should be a manager within 12 months, senior management / company board within 36 months. So not bad if this is your fist proper job. Also, the staff have good relationships generally speaking. This is due to the 'in the trenches' mentality and comradery.

Cons

Everything else. I really mean it as well.

Pros

+ most of the co-workers are friendly and helpful + good for start + work/ life balance at least in some offices

Cons

- possibilities to learn and change departments in the company are not existing, - CEO has a habit of treating the employees like Jenga tower, making some of them redundant provokes waves of people quitting, - CEO micromanages everything instead of solving the real problems, - CEO likes to shut down/ remake/ move between countries departments creating complete CHAOS for several months after those decisions, - the company is overstaffed in some places and very understaffed in other, - forcing employees to use SOUNDBRANCH - it's a useless tool that solves communication issues only in the CEO's mind, - when you raise a problem you are automatically assigned to solving it even if you don't have the tools or ranks to do it, - when you speak honestly about the problems most likely you will be made redundant soon, - not fighting for people that want to quit, company values: flexible - means taking on responsibilities after other people (that got fired, quit) with no compensation or changes in the job title along with doing your own job even when you are alone and several people were doing the job before, working on holidays and sick leaves curious - the only way you can do this is after hours, in your own free time, learning for yourself proactive - raise something and you are the action owner automatically, try to accually solve what you raised - you get micromanaged by CEO fun - after a few months all the fun is gone
