Serif Europe Reviews

Management care little for the teams beneath them, information is not cascaded down to team members nor any decisions, with regards to those that would affect how a dept. works, are discussed with those teams. These changes to 'the job' are generally implemented before making the team aware of them. Advancement within the company is next to impossible and any promotions are normally done based on how long an individual has been with the company, rather than based on performance or ability. Your best bet is to learn what you can a move on. Salaries are well below industry average and you can expect to earn anywhere between 15-20% less than your industry counterparts.

Serif is a software company and is owned by people who know very little about software. As a result they make terrible uniformed decisions. They look toward a team of equally uniformed managers for advice. They are a bureaucratic company with a steep hierarchy, making getting anything done a long and tedious process. The wages here are very low. Some of the managers have an apologetic attitude and do what they can. Since leaving I am earning more than 2x what Serif was paying me. The company is being directed largely by talentless individuals with no passion or real insight.
