It's good - Administrator Abide Financial Employee Review

Loads of autonomy albeit ample amounts of ambiguity to go with it hand in hand but that's what you expect from a young, fast growing company. You're either made for start ups/young companies or ones that are well established that just need maintaining. Diverse culture Opportunity to be part of carving the way forwards for the company at a young age and integrating with our parent company. Generous compensation package, opportunities arise frequently and plenty of scope to make a job what you want it to be. Exposure to challenges you might not necessarily get in an established organisation Plenty of annual get togethers to have fun Loads of really interesting people to work with albeit some of the techs can be really high maintenance.

Definitely not a company for people that want a steady pace or find it difficult to roll with the punches/changes in direction, though this is not negative, just your preference. Structures change quite frequently but again this is part of a rapid growth process, its expected. Some things change really quickly, others that seem simple can sometimes take a long time but they do eventually happen.

Lots of good hardworking people doing their best with some good humour. Regular perks and piss-ups

Some six months ago a senior engineer disappeared. It seems management lied to us that he had "decided" to leave, but noone believe that anymore. he was outspoken, opinionated, yet dedicated software guy, pretty much everyone knows he's pushed, given gardening leave or paid off to keep quiet. Maybe a technical disagreement. Whatever it was he wasn't supposed to say, we realised it must be bad for the company if they were willing to lose him to keep the rest of us in the dark. I heard management have got rid of a earlier troublemaker too but it was before I joined. Since then the software team's morale has dropped. We need to expand to get our projects done, but out of 23 software people, 5 permanents have resigned over the last six months and we've recruited one or two. It sounds similar in other parts of the company. Management are putting on a brave face and saying they're not pandering to coders while spending money on treats and distractions. Fine if all your care about is benefits and getting paid.
