Thank you for your review and for recognising the people, the product, and the ambition.
I would like to address the “pinch of salt” comment directly, because it reads less like feedback and more like a deliberate attempt to undermine the integrity of what many colleagues have worked very hard to build together, here at iplicit.
We encourage people to leave honest Glassdoor reviews so prospective hires can make an informed choice. Reviews are anonymous and the content is always the reviewer’s. We do not “manufacture” sentiment, and indeed you will know that we proactively ask employees to include the negative aspects within their review, to ensure that candidates aren’t ‘seduced’ by our Fast Growth and Best Employer awards - because working here is hard and if prospective candidates are seeking an easy ride, or a place where they can be in the shadows rather than radically accountable, we want them to know that iplicit won’t be fun for them.
We were recently ranked top 5 in The Sunday Times Best Places to Work in the U.K. out of 10’s of thousands of entrants. This accolade is based on feedback from an anonymous, company wide survey of almost 200 staff , and it reflects the lived experience of the wider team, not a small number of voices and certainly not leadership spin.
If iplicit feels like a cause, it’s because it is! We are driven, we care, and we are building a business that aims to become a UK software unicorn with staff happiness and customer satisfaction at its core. If that mission and pace energises you, you will thrive here. If it doesn’t, it will feel uncomfortable.
That doesn’t make the culture a cult though, it just means the environment was not the right fit for you.
When there is such a wide gap between one person’s conclusion and the consistent feedback of the broader team, it is reasonable to assume the issue was fit, not integrity.
As I know you will have heard from me directly - there are certainly easier places to work, but the gang we’ve assembled here loves what we’ve created, together.
I genuinely wish you every success in finding a role that matches what you are looking for.
Lyndon Stickley, CEO
