Pros

If you can find the right team to insulate yourself from the rest of the business, there are some great people.

Cons

The other poor reviews are all in alignment and this is similar. I was in a more senior role and stayed longer than I should. You can spend time building the place to be better and attempting to reach that vague “world class” that is touted but never understood. Ultimately the problem here is Paul. He is an egotistical narcissist and the business will not be able to progress with him. He somehow has a mixture of micromanagement when he’s interested (eg marketing, larger billing areas and social media, while also being entirely uninterested in other areas such as compliance related ones that aren’t flashy and can’t be posted on his LinkedIn. While there are a number of great leaders there, they will invariably leave after attempting to put their stamp on it. Those that stay know not to try force Paul to do anything otherwise they will be branded “not really Sedulo”. Free thinking is not encouraged, just pretend you are a uni student having a party while balancing on uncomfortable chairs missing wheels. The business is all flash and no substance. Pay is rubbish and only decided by Paul (CEO). Do yourself a favour and look elsewhere, if you do interview, take note of the salary discussions and comparisons to the market.

Pros

Free bar in each office

Cons

Bad pay with worse governance, expected to get work completed in unrealistic deadlines without being supported and expected to work in own time to get the work done. There are historical accounting errors based on under qualified people being hired which means much longer is required on the job. When senior managers come to the office, there’s a bravado that’s put on specifically for them (why hide what the firm’s like?). There’s been such little change over the years despite years of people writing negative reviews and offering healthy suggestions to the business. Staff are heard but ignored. A weekly happiness score is sent to staff but if you score low, you’re seen to be the problem. When you discuss what can be done to improve (ie hire staff to support/ getting paid for hours worked) nothing is done to change the problem. High focus on non-accounting related work that staff are expected to attend.
