High turnover and layoffs

Anonymous employee

Business outlook

Pros

The company sells quarterly bonuses, an open office plan, and Friday happy hours.

Cons

The open office plan is just plain noisy and Friday happy hours are just an excuse to get you to work later. If you opt out of company happy hours, upper management throws shade. There is high turnover as the trend is to hire fresh graduates, skimp on training, and pile on the projects until they realize they can do better. While there is frequent renaming of upper management and shuffling of duties, it is very difficult for project coordinators and managers to get promoted. The whole Austin office was shut down and experienced employees laid off, so the business outlook is not good for US operations.

Good training but limited long-term opportunities

Business outlook

Pros

Some office perks, quarterly bonuses and friendly colleagues. Potential to learn new tasks quickly and gain more responsibilities, but that achievement isn't always recognised in a concrete manner, which makes you feel under-valued.

Cons

Internal communication is pretty poor. With the recent lay-offs in the Austin and London offices, remaining employees will soon be looking for other options as the company seems to have an incessant focus on profit rather than for the wellbeing of their employees.
