Pros
Pros: Within Muc-Off there is a finite number of star employees that make going into work fun and worth it! You couldn't replace these people, they're in every department and keep it running. Kudos to you few! Most practical products do work well so you know you can stand by them. The company is growing so lots of funds for various projects and career growth in some departments. Your job is secure in terms of the company is only growing, so plenty to feel secure about. Working from home (all be it due to lack of office space) is flexible and good. Ability to use many different bikes or go to events.
Cons
Cons: A sour-tasting dictatorship under the guise of 'Punk', focused solely on money-making and being 'known'. Many human and practical aspects of the company have been left behind or abandoned in favour of 'chasing the money' and this has had a direct impact on the current and past employees. The recent and only employment survey highlights this as a common feeling across the board. Annonymous employee survey results and feedback were shared (without names or permission) to the entire company, potentially exposing certain employees' opinions to everyone and damaging status. The reality of the Pink Punk company is that many 'old dogs' and those in management are afraid of those they deem as below them. Those 'below them' often come with years of experience (often, far more than the management above them). This combination along with a lack of any HR support soon stamps the moral out of them with threats, bullying, and undermining. This seems to happen in all departments. Influenced reviews are clearly given above. For obvious reasons it is evident to see who is being honest, and who is looking to gain a foothold in their place in the hierarchy...or afraid to lose it! The disorganisation that comes with the company is inherent and only seems to get worse as time marches on. So, be skeptical about promises of it improving. On that note, false promises and pointless/needless deadlines are prevalent in every department. They're seemingly more to appear professional than to serve any practical use and consistently overstress and stretch each department needlessly. Several specific roles seem to have a very high turnover of employees... Freelancers seem to get treated poorly and their payments are always severely late. Working overtime or weekends? Expected not rewarded or paid. Every company has its positives and negatives, as well as salty reviews. But, to speak honestly about Muc-Off is the most damming thing you can do, the inside of the company, as well as its outward face, speaks for itself. A promising company that refuses to admit and fix its issues. Lack of actual career progression. Departments get too bogged down in the panic deadlines and overtime to actually find a way of helping you progress your career.
