Promotion doesn't happen for a long time even performance shown up. Not fare treatment for fully remote workers compare to office ones.

Hi there - appreciate you taking the time to send through an honest review. Glad you are enjoying the flexibility with our remote first work approach.
I am sorry you don't feel the experience is equitable when comparing with some colleagues who come into Adder HQ. I would encourage you to share your frustrations with our Head of Engineering or People Team depending on how much discretion you prefer. More broadly we are always looking at ways we can connect Adders more effectively and being a distributed workforce, virtual plays a big role in this!

Tech Stack was lacking, product minimal differentiators

Hi there,
Thank you for providing this review! I couldn't agree more, the culture is amazing at JA! I will pass on your feedback and I hope you continue to enjoy JobAdder :))
Small enough team that people mostly got along. Base salary was not bad.
Cons
Very limited voice. Constant fear of being fired due to how management would interact with you. They did not fully understand who did what in the team. Did not show equal appreciation to all parties involved in releasing a quality product. Alcohol consumption was very encouraged. You would be shamed if you did not drink. Strict 8:30 - 5:30 work day. I am fine with the length of the work day but flexibility of start and end time would have been nice. Benefits were lacking in quality and quantity. That would be fine if the company gave a plus elsewhere such as schedule but it did not.

Thanks for your review. You are right in that cultures can vary from office to office, so we have worked hard to ensure everyone at JA understands our core company culture. This includes all employees coming to Sydney at least once a year to get to know the whole team. In the year since you were there a lot has changed and we are extremely happy with the team we have in the US now. Thanks again for your input and all the best.
