Pros

UK salary, that's the only advantage.

Cons

- Over managing. - Micromanaging instead of focusing on improving the company. - They fired almost the entire eng team in the middle of the pandemic. - Forget about using best practices, have regular meetings to improve... - No respect for the personal/work conciliation balance, especially during the pandemic.

Hi, this is Bridget (CEO) from YouCanBook.me. We are so heartbroken to hear this description of our team and company! I wish whoever has posted this has found a better position and is more happy in a different company. I am so sorry our company was not suitable for you. Thank you for your words about our product - we are trying to do the best we can. If any candidate for a current open position is reading this, and has concerns (I would!) please reach out to me personally for a direct response to these comments: bridget@youcanbook.me

They pay UK salary all over the world but in return they call you a mercenary.

I'm not going to waste a minute talking about this company. Just DON'T

Hello, this is Bridget - CEO of YCBM. It's hard to imagine anyone working for YCBM, however the role finished, to decide to post this about us and our company. If this is anyone who has left the company in the last 2 years, I am so personally sorry I can't tell you! If you every want to reach out for a direct conversation about why your experience left you feeling like this, my time is open for you.

Avoid like the plague

Pros

You will learn a lot about micromanagement, legacy code, bad practices, the absolute worst architectural decisions, reinventing the square wheel, and how NOT to develop software in general. Apply for the job only if you want an immediate, long-lasting career stall.

Cons

Realizing you could have dodged the bullet, but instead chose to ignore all those red flags because the salary seemed pretty good at the time. It's not worth it. Not in a million years.

Bridget here from YCBM. Whilst clearly hard for me to read, I do appreciate the feedback on your experience and certainly take it very seriously. I genuinely only have the very best wishes for those who have moved on from YCBM in the last few years. Like all SaaS companies, we've had our fair share of challenging technical decisions to tackle - I certainly wouldn't claim we've got every one of those decisions right! But what I can say is that we've always worked incredibly hard to do the right things and to learn whenever there might be a better way. This is how we've evolved as a company, got better at what we do and have the team, structure and processes in place that we're incredibly proud of today. Clearly in this case, things didn't work out and I'm very sorry for that. Finally, anyone reading this who'd like to have a chat with me or any of our current team, don't hesitate to get in touch. people@youcanbook.me
