      Pros

      Some brilliant and creative employees driving the business forward. Great coffee house across the road. Good bars after work. Close to the West End and underground stops.

      Cons

      This is a small, IB-minded company that leeches off its immensely talented team, milking them for all they can and treating most of them like dirt in the meantime. Recent "strides" towards transparency and better culture are merely a façade. New reviews are timed (and scripted) to move bad ones out of sight and previous genuine reviews have been removed for legal reasons. This highlights the determination of the business owners to manipulate those in or around it. Dare not speak out or try to advise the inexperienced management or you'll be cast aside as a renegade, belittled and bullied by the CEO. Team heads tend to leave the business after a short spell, yet when asked why, the directors simply brush it under the carpet by downplaying the jobs they did and insisting they were "toxic to the business" and "bad hires." The inexperience calling the shots is detrimental to the future success of the business and the delusions of grandeur and arrogance that permeates through top-level management hammers home this fact. It's this attitude that creates a backstabbing, almost unbearable culture within a small, once tight-knit and successful team. This has only been accentuated since long serving, top performing and key characters have left. Does this company have a revolving door policy? Absolutely. If you are unlucky enough to choose MarketInvoice over the real fast growing game-changers in this sector you can expect to learn a little, but you should plan your next move shortly after arriving (if you get through the rigorous and frankly ridiculous hiring process) if you care about your career, because few there will help you or care.

      We were sorry to read this review as clearly your experience with us was not a positive one and as we try to be fair with all our employees, both former and current, we feel it is only right we should respond to your review. We would certainly agree that we have an immensely talented team. Our people are paramount to us, they are what make MarketInvoice a truly unique place to work and it would be remiss of us not to mention this. We do encourage our employees to have an opinion, we do expect them to bring their experience and skills to the fore and we hope that this encourages people to feel included and that they are able to make a difference. Reviews and indeed responses are not scripted. As I am sure you will be aware, we cannot remove responses from the site, only Glassdoor has the right to do this and we actively encourage not just current employees, but people who interview with us and those who leave the company to rate us on this site as we want people to have a full understanding of what it’s like to work at MarketInvoice. The senior leaders at MarketInvoice have worked hard to increase our transparency, ensure effective communication across the business and offices and to welcome all opinions from people. We ran our first employee engagement survey earlier this year, we have a culture committee in place (this is deliberately run by people from across the business at all levels and with a revolving chair person to ensure fairness and transparency) and we ensure we have all company meetings every Friday along with town halls, strategy meetings, lunch and learns and leadership meetings (which are open forum and can be listened to by anyone in the business) all in a concerted effort to make sure we keep our people informed and at the heart of the business and its decisions. We are a small company now going through an exciting growth phase and whilst last year we did have to restructure some of our teams, we are firmly on a path of growth and expansion. We move into new, larger offices soon to support this and retention of our current team is key to us reaching our goals and being successful, we in no way have had or intend to have a revolving door view to our employees. We are grateful that you have given us feedback and we are sorry that on this occasion it hasn’t been a positive experience for you, but rest assured all feedback is taken seriously and of course, it goes without saying that we do wish you well in your next role.

      In & out, hire and fire, revolving doors

      Pros

      Makes you learn how to be more discerning when joining 'start ups'

      Cons

      Bad culture, intimidating, not collaborative at all like what you'd expect from a start up. Its a start up trying to style itself after a big financial institution but also not really sure of where its going. People are just digits and nobody is expected to stay for long - loyalty is not valued. Attitude of disregard and arrogance from management permeates through the organisation. No room for career progression, people get pigeonholed into very specific roles very quickly and no chance for you to change that impression since people are let go / asked to leave / bullied out after about 6 - 12 months.

      Thanks for the feedback. We hired a lot of people last year to accommodate our growth, and that did lead to some friction, especially when we changed our sales structure. We have a lot of loyal MarketInvoice veterans who’ve been here for a long time and witnessed the really tricky start-up times; and it wasn’t easy bringing so many new people in a short space of time. We’ve listened and made some changes since then and as a result we’ve made massive strides forward with our working culture, opportunities for progression and training. Feedback like this has really helped us design a new, transparent way of hiring and working – so thanks again! Paul

      Pros

      Some talented and amicable individuals in the team. Has taught me to be more wary of an inexperienced management team before joining a company!

      Cons

      A fry cry from the collaborative start-up/fintech culture they try to promote externally. Unpleasant "Them and us culture" is driven by the arrogant and inexperienced directors. Compensation package is poor when compared to what is offered elsewhere in the market. Employees treated with little respect and expected to shoulder all the blame when things do not go according to plan. Loyalty and contribution not rewarded, very limited career progression opportunities. Hire and fire policy creates a terrible atmosphere in the office.

      Thanks for the post – you raised some points that we've worked hard to address over the last few months. It’s been a roller-coaster four years of rapid growth for the business, and so nerves have gotten a little frayed at times. Having grown the business so far without doing lots of big fund-raises, we've been working at 150% to get to where we are. But we've implemented a lot of new ideas to improve things that are working really well – not least options for every single employee so that loyalty really is rewarded. Keep in touch! Paul
