Pros

Perks are same as what other startups offer so no comments on that. The best thing about the company is the service people, both old and new. The trustpilot score basically goes to them. The handful of customers that still exists are only due to the talented service team. 5/5 stars to Service Team.

Cons

Welcome to the land of perpetual micro management, where talent goes to die. If anyone is looking to join Cuckoo, prepare for workdays that stretch into oblivion, zero learning, on calls the entire shift with zero progression, work life balance is a myth here. If you are seeking appreciation and recognition, look elsehwere, as your efforts will vanish into a black hole. Feedback session often feels like tossing suggestions into bottomless bucket, they are never heard or acted upon. The only flexibility you'll experience is defo contorting yourself to meet ever changing demands which are implemented within seconds. The office culture went upside down this year. The office environment lacks the fun and charm that was in the beginning.

Our customers and employees are always at the forefront of any decisions we make.

Our management team is always there to support and encourage any team members who are struggling, as well as recognise and appreciate our top performers. It is important that you feel your feedback and voice are valued, because they are. We would encourage you to speak to our People Team to discuss your concerns further, so that we can provide you with all the support you require, and address your concerns properly.

Pros

Struggling to think of any other than it was pleasure to leave this companyf

Cons

Toxic middle managers who have no skills to manage themselves let alone other people. Promotion/ posts given on jobs for the boys. Who are People who know each other and have the same small mindset. Commission structure very poor and even force sales reps to ask customers to write 5 star reviews so reps can meet the "review targets" to get paid poor commission rates. Not able to think for yourself and organise your own day /times.. micromanaging is understatement... I can't think of anything good to write about this idiotic setup with morans for managers.. I have so many examples of things said and done by these morans however would be still typing next week to list the full issues and ridiculous things done and said

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear your experience didn’t reflect the culture we strive for at Cuckoo. We’re proud of our strong Trustpilot score, and it’s important to be clear that reviews are always the customer’s choice. We never require or pressure anyone to seek five-star reviews, and any decision a customer makes to leave feedback is entirely their own. Promotion and progression at Cuckoo follow transparent processes based on performance and capability — not personal connections. We’re concerned to hear your comments about management and working practices. This isn’t the experience we want for our team, and we continue to invest in developing supportive, effective leadership. We appreciate your perspective and wish you well for the future. - The Cuckoo Team
