Tyk Reviews

They could not adapt to growth and to transition from a small team to a scale up. The culture is crumbling and becoming very toxic. You have unlimited holiday but that is only a facade because in reality people are so over worked they don't use it. Most of the people are burnt out and there is pressure to grow, the business has financial difficulties and treating people poorly when dealing with dismissals. They throw you out the door without blinking and without a fair process. There is no fair process when it comes to promotions at all. You only succeed if you agree with the founders. If you dare challenge the status quo, you are out. This is why people do not challenge anymore and have become afraid to express their opinion. This staled their growth and allowed incompetence. They have people in high ranks that are not properly prepared for the job. Even though they are global, their cultural awareness is a joke. This has been the worst job I had to date.

- Note: A lot of these glowing reviews are "warmly" prompted by Tyk HR during your first week which I think is very misleading! - Toxic culture centred around promoting the "nice" employees (read, the ones that are "yes men" to the CEO). This has promoted incompetence and has driven core functions to the ground (see product and marketing). I've never seen a company slowing down so quickly and constantly making the same ineffective decisions. Diversity is just on paper to look good to new hires. Women on the leadership tier are figurines with no decision power. Bias and directors' friendships run rampant. Different opinions are shut down if against the CEO mainstream take. And finally: the company has run "lean" all these years. Think of minimal perks (no healthcare plan for years because the CEO believes in public healthcare, whilst he can afford private insurance...) but some employees get the white glove treatment.
