Everything good is his, everything bad is yours - Anonymous employee Disruptive Industries Employee Review

Pros I joined Disruptive Industries at a point where the business needed things to be simpler, clearer, and more consistent. A lot of the work I’ve been involved in has been about cutting through unnecessary complexity, tidying up ways of working, and putting straightforward processes in place so people can just get on with their jobs properly. One of the things I really enjoy is how closely everyone works with the executive team. There’s no heavy hierarchy or unnecessary bureaucracy — it has much more of a studio-style, joint-effort feel where people work side by side, share ideas openly, and focus on moving things forward together. You feel trusted, listened to, and involved, rather than managed at arm’s length. The team is down to earth, pragmatic, and focused on what actually works rather than over-engineering things. There’s a strong sense of ownership and accountability — people crack on, communicate directly, and care about doing things properly. When you raise an issue and suggest a sensible solution, it’s taken seriously and acted on quickly. The work itself has been genuinely interesting and satisfying. It’s rewarding to simplify things that didn’t need to be complicated and see the impact quickly. Overall, Disruptive Industries feels like an organisation with good people at its heart, a clear direction, and a collaborative way of working that makes it a genuinely good place to be. Working fully remote suits me 100%

Nothing as of yet great start.

Even after the “storm”, I couldn’t find any reasons to stay

The only people rating this company 5 stars are the ones who are paid bucket loads to keep its head above water and say “yes, sir.” Take a moment to think about what a 5-star company typically is: - Does a 5-star company lose 85–90% of its employees through resignations? Not terminations or coups. Clearly, neither the CEO nor the product potential alone were enough to retain amazing talent. - Does a 5-star company make employees nervous to speak up? People “crack on,” not because of facts, but because the CEO rants without listening. Draining! - Does a 5-star company offer minimal pensions and weak wellness packages? No. Under the current CEO, this has never been and never will be a 5-star company. While the North Star remains unchanged, execution and product direction have deteriorated. Technical and product clarity is weak, and the company feels directionless without the team that actually drove the success, said no to the CEO and managed the tantrums Trust is low, and leadership reacts to opinions despite claiming everything is “rosy.” You cannot have a CEO with a huge ego, chaotic tendencies, and controlling behavior leading product and technical decisions beyond their expertise, especially when surrounded by yes-men. It’s very unfortunate for the company. Avoid… seriously
