Such a mess

Pros

There was no pros, nothing but crap

Cons

Whole culture built on how they're a large family and everyone cares so deeply for everyone, with the classics of flat structures and going for drinks with senior management regularly. It's all a face for poor management and horrible men Rapid hiring because they're doing so well, then oh oops we gotta fire over 100 people two weeks before christmas and a month before they bring in all the benefits they were promising for about a year. To then go on a continue to hire at the same rate and promote all over social media about how well they're doing. Huns, you didn't hit your sales target for 3 quarters which is why you had to do a redundancy. Also for woman, be care of some of the men in management positions. Some think they're proactive modern men but then say stuff like "I'm a red blooded man" to proceed and explain why it's okay to hit on woman in work even while married with kids. And those same men were inviting woman in junior positions to hotel rooms after work social events. You're career has no future in this company!

Pros

- Great place to work overall - Lovely team and people - Interesting tech stack and open to new technologies - Good enough salary package (although definitely not the best out there) - Great career growth opportunities

Cons

- Codat hired a lot of people last year (claiming their business was thriving and making exaggerated assertions about their unachievable goals such as hiring a lot more people by the end of the year ... etc). However, in December 2022, a few weeks before Christmas, they announced they were making nearly 100 people redundant (what felt like pretty much all the people that were hired that year, but I could be wrong). - Felt completely gutted given how short my experience was at Codat, but also for being let go right before Christmas, at a time where finding a job isn't particularly easy - I'm not sure whether I regret working there at all. The teams and processes are great, management not so much. They did try making up for their mistake by giving us a (good enough) severance package but we all felt like we got stabbed in the back and the family culture Codat developed over the years has now been crushed by the news. Not sure it will be recovered soon... - I still think it's a great place to work, I really enjoyed my time there but as you know in the job market the grass is always greener on the other side (especially in terms of salary package)
