Pros

Some really nice people who work really hard. Free Friday lunches.

Cons

People managers are young and need to be properly upskilled on how to manage others. Even as a full time staff, you are required to clock in for every task and break you take which is unrealistic; people sometimes just make up times to fill in gaps at the end of the week. The office is also quite a cliquey place which can sometimes feel unwelcoming.

Pros

After many years and counting, Cyber-Duck has repeatedly demonstrated support and care for me and my family, and a real effort to make the work place inclusive, flexible, comfortable and friendly. The team are not only very knowledgeable but friendly and helpful.

Cons

Could improve structured training and time for researching and improving efficiency in some parts.

Pros

The collaborative approach between the design and development teams, along with the opportunity to work on projects for big-name clients, was a huge career boost.

Cons

Poor company culture and value. They were constantly taking on new projects without considering who would actually do the work. This led to massive burnout and overwhelmed employees. To top it off, the company didn't offer any support when dealing with challenging or disrespectful clients. It's no surprise that so many people have left in the past two years. It's a shame because there's real potential here, but the company needs to prioritise its employees and stop overpromising clients. While the company claimed to value diversity, there was a pattern of promotions favouring British men, which limited opportunities for women and colleagues from different backgrounds.
