Jolly Learning Reviews

There is poor and inconsistent pay between employees, a lack of communication, and no clear business strategy. Meetings for the sake of meetings are commonplace. The new CEO is driven by ego and makes decisions on a whim. At one point, the entire company’s flexible working arrangements were changed solely to accommodate a single new hire, despite existing team members having other commitments and being unenthusiastic about the change. Ironically, this occurred right after he boasted about hiring two fully remote specialists based in another country. While refusing to listen to the team, he excessively relies on AI tools for basic tasks like drafting simple emails, further undermining confidence in his leadership. It’s unfortunate how things have unfolded; while the product is excellent and there are many wonderful people at the company, the atmosphere has deteriorated significantly over the past year, becoming increasingly toxic and tense. The focus on buzzwords like "growth" and "transition" has taken precedence, yet these ideas are rarely acted upon, with new initiatives often abandoned within a few weeks.

The ownership. Aside from absolute minimum benefits (poor salary, lowest possible holiday allowance, etc) he refuses to listen to his experienced and dedicated staff. Instead, does what he wants and lets his ego grow because so many people praise the work the company does. New ownership under his son looks to be similar with brilliant staff being totally disregarded. Such a shame.
