Pros

Nothing positive to day about this company - do not leave existing career for this place!

Cons

Poor CEO leadership: Both co-founders (Xavier & Chris) will blame employees for their poor decision making. There are many engineering issues with their main products such Hydrus and Boreas. Lies have been told all the way from the employee levels to the board. Temperamental CEOs make them difficult stakeholders to work with. CEOs will never take responsibility or blame and push the blame to other c-suite executives. Toxic work culture, poor treatment of staff and cut throat culture - historically, have had legal issues with how staff are being treated. Recently have cut off an entire division called "Cloud Ground Control" (CGC) and the manner in which CEOs laid off everyone was in a very inhumane manner. A culture where CEOs will try and milk as much value as possible for you and when you are no longer useful, they will likely make you redundant or fire you. Company has a revenue problem and have been laying off staff recently or made employees redundant. While they may pitch that they have enough funding; it is misleading. The issue is due to engineering problems across their products and sales function not being able to sell or products being refunded by major customers. Company has a large cash flow burn rate which is reducing their runway. Do not take the risk coming here - it is not worth it.

Pros

Interesting technology Junior team are friendly and passionate Good location Defence work

Cons

Founders treat staff with no respect or trust. There is required facial scanning for every (including salaried) employees to clock in and out During COVID staff were told to break health orders and come in without testing Nepotism is rampant, many reviews on here are from when a select group of employees were asked a select few to write some positive reviews just before annual performance/salary reviews.

Pros

Interesting company vision Growing company trajectory Attractive remuneration offers Central location Founders buy the office lunch once a fortnight

Cons

Toxic, hostile and unprofessional work environment Misogynistic and sexist behaviour from some teams, with no repercussions from HR Will lie to candidates during interview process to get them through the door Will retract or withdraw role perks/requirements after the contract has been signed Will force COVID-positive employees to come into the office There is now no option for employees to work from home, even for doctor’s appointments or medical emergencies Staff treated with little to no respect No structure or plan for hiring strategy - the company is simply hiring to say “the company is growing” Multiple blocks, ‘red tape’ and bureaucratic hoops to get projects actioned or approved Mass resignations across multiple teams in the business
