Pros

None, nothing else to say here.

Cons

Shocking excuse for a “business”. Does not pay staff and 100% illegally obtaining money from abroad. Only one ‘client’ in four years. Strangely no trading in the UK… wonder why. Company is in place to prop up all powerful CEO and his lavish lifestyle, who spends all his time complaining about everything, bullying staff and holding pointless internal meetings. Staff constantly kicked out of meetings when they don’t speak Russian. The ultimate micro managing company with absolutely no interest in looking after staff. Nightmare place to work- avoid at all costs.

Arloid Automation Response

Thank you very much for your feedback. Your opinion is essential to us and helps our team to improve. Please allow us to address each of your points below: 1. Arloid is contracted with a few impactful world brands such as Damac, DHL, etc. Most of our achievements are reflected on our website, on blogs, and on social media. While we would hope that this information is both easily accessible and clear for all employees, it seems we must make even greater efforts to better inform all individuals of our unique solution and achievements. 2. The business is still comparatively young, having only been established in late 2019. With the nature of the machine learning process and extensive information required, we had to focus on one target market for initial go-to-market strategy. We chose the Middle East (UAE, Qatar, Bahrein and Saudi Arabia) because there is more suitable weather for our product in the initial implementation stage. The company only set up an office in the UK more recently, hence, while it is our HQ, our business is still primarily in the UAE. Nevertheless, we are starting to operate with new partners located in four-season climate zones. Please look to our LinkedIn page for updates. 3. Our salaries are 34% higher than the average, considering particular roles. We pay staff fully and on time, but we had only one delay (a few days) in October'22 because of technical issues on our Singaporean investor side. We do apologise if it touched you personally. 4. At present, individuals of 19 different nationalities work together in Arloid. We are fully committed to the fundamental principles of equality and treat all employees with respect regardless of race, colour, ethnicity, religion, and beliefs. We are a truly diverse team located in London (HQ), Berlin, Singapore, and Dubai. We have a lively, honest, and open culture based on mutual respect. Given this, it is entirely out of the question that "staff [are] constantly kicked out of meetings when they don’t speak Russian" in Arloid. 5. Our investors are clear and transparent for the whole world and we are afraid that the statement "illegally obtaining money from abroad" does not correspond to reality. In fact, you can find our investors have declared their investments on LinkedIn. 6. We would appreciate it if you allow us to avoid commenting on your statement regarding the CEO's lifestyle. From our perspective, it is unethical to discuss private lifestyles or other personal information of employees. We would only note that our CEO is in the TOP 30 in the "Person" section of Crunchbase: https://www.crunchbase.com/person/sergey-shalunov We sincerely regret that we did not meet your expectations and commit to continuous improvement.

Pros

I would say Arloid is one of companies I truly enjoyed working for. I had a great and positive experience working with CEO and all team members in the company. Arloid is an innovative and technology company that is always looking for new opportunities to expand. The company has a positive, adaptive, and more inclusive culture with a greater appreciation for diversity in the workplace, employees can be encouraged to discuss biases openly. In addition, a healthy level of respect and trust in the workplace which has created high levels of respect and trust amongst its employees. I felt my coworkers can respect and trust me just as I can trust my coworkers.

Cons

Since the company is in a start-up mode, people are expected to work hard and do their best to achieve goals and objectives. Nonetheless, It would be a great opportunity to stimulate and challenge along with growth potential within the company in terms of your own role and the company’s overall growth.
