Leavers, raise up from ashes, speak up! - Anonymous employee 3S Money Employee Review

Your time at 3S will be short, because they're laying people off.

The leadership are actively laying people off while gaslighting the employees by saying that people are leaving due to "personal issues". This is not true. Mulitple people are being made redundant in secret. Several have gone in the same day, and are locked out of email while the founders spread lies about their departures. This company made a massive first quarter loss. They've annouced a "hiring freeze", but the layoffs are already happening. Stay away. Oh, and watch out – every time a negative review appears, the company posts a load of fake positive ones. Look at the dates of the positive reviews closely and you'll see the pattern.

The company has a dynamic international environment with some genuinely talented and professional colleagues. There are plenty of opportunities to gain experience quickly, take ownership, and work on interesting problems.

Leadership feels very focused on hitting bonus targets and reducing costs, often at the expense of people and long-term thinking. Employee development gets no attention, and staff can sometimes feel treated as replaceable resources, especially with offshoring and automation initiatives mainly aimed at cutting headcount. The company is also surprisingly siloed for its size, with strategy and decision-making often feeling chaotic or reactive. There can be a fairly aggressive culture at times, with pressure to align closely with founders rather than openly challenge ideas.
