      Pros

      Good benefits Decent salary Flexible working (at least it's not 5 days in the office!) Great colleagues

      Cons

      Screws are always been tightened to squeeze as much profit as possible. Generally means limited to no business expenses, training opportunities, downgrading the office space (moving from the fantastic North Park building to a generic corporate cube on a generic business park in Newcastle)

      Thank you for your feedback. Although it might not fully resonate with you at the moment, we'd like to assure you that our culture is still people-focused. Yes, we want to keep growing and scaling, but we know our colleagues are at the heart of our success, and so their well-being is a priority to us. We take an internal-first approach to colleague development and continue to invest in enriching our upskilling resources via Sage Learning, etc. We changed our bonus structure from a regional one to a global one so that all our colleagues could equally benefit from this. We acknowledge that there are areas to keep improving, and we shall continue doing so, but our culture is built on wanting our customers, colleagues and other stakeholders to thrive.

      Pros

      was hired as remote and get to have that honored, but have been openly told no career progression because of remote status. decent pay

      Cons

      Leadership instability: Seven manager changes during my relatively short tenure. Unrealistic targets: A sales quota set at 1,100% growth (not a typo). Slow product development: Getting anything actioned on the product side takes far too long. Product management turnover: Three product manager changes, resulting in no meaningful deliverables in over three years. Misaligned hiring priorities: Greater emphasis on DEI optics than on hiring people positioned to drive growth. Internal vs. customer focus: More energy spent on internal events than on product enhancements. Lack of accountability (the biggest issue): No one takes ownership. Responsibility gets passed around constantly — for example, client cancellations going unprocessed because they impact someone's numbers. Managers have openly encouraged pushing the work onto someone else rather than handling it.
