Pros

Considering that a regular salary and health insurance are basic expectations, I can say that I have absolutely no positive impression of the company.

Cons

The organization faces a lack of structure, alignment, and transparency, while the general level of technical expertise is quite limited. Management lacks real authority, unlike similar roles in the UK, and this gap is often filled by shifting responsibility, manipulation, and a "he said, she said" culture — all in an attempt to hold onto positions without assuming accountability. If you join the company, it’s advisable to carefully share your knowledge, especially if it is at a higher level than that of your colleagues, as this could lead to rivalry with long-standing employees who consider their positions secure. The work environment tends to encourage competition rather than collaboration, creating a rather toxic atmosphere. Most employees have stayed in their positions for years without basic qualifications, having gained knowledge "on the go" instead of through structured development. For those who aspire to professional growth through knowledge sharing and continuous learning, I would strongly advise avoiding such an environment. A final piece of advice: avoid closed-door meetings with management without official correspondence. This can protect you from potential manipulation, untruths, and misinformation.

Thank you for your review. We are glad to see the 5 stars and read that you had a good experience working at Hyperoptic. Thank you as well for the feedback on bonuses and salary, it's important to us to know what employee and former employees think should be improved. We do have an annual salary review process, designed to ensure fair remuneration based on job performance and market standards. However, not every review results in an increase, as it depends on various factors that are defined for each review cycle. The same it is for the bonus, which is based on performance. Thanks again for your review, the Culture and Engagement Team
