Pros

Some good people are unfortunately stuck there. Remote working is good. However, the company are trying to push people back into the office. Be warned.

Cons

Working at Dubber proved to be undeniably frustrating. The company's share price crash instilled uncertainty among employees, especially those with (now almost worthless) shares leaving them hesitant to seek other opportunities and feeling trapped in their current positions. Additionally, the handling of redundancies exposed a concerning pattern of taking from one aspect of the company while indulging in wasteful ventures with another. The soaring costs demanded immediate attention, urging a thorough evaluation of expenses like offices, F1 sponsorships, and regular social events. Implementing cost-saving measures beforehand could have spared jobs and maintained a more stable work environment. Throughout my tenure, I was constantly surrounded by an overwhelming moroseness and apathy, significantly hindering productivity and progress. This disheartening environment could be attributed to the uninspiring management and leadership teams. The high staff turnover, compounded by roles left unfilled, further exacerbated the situation, creating an overall disorganised state of affairs. Moreover, the tech stack within the company left much to be desired, seemingly assembled with matchsticks and chewing gum. This technical inadequacy added another layer of frustration for both employees and clients. The culmination of these challenges eventually led me to make the difficult decision to leave. Gazing towards the future, I couldn't envision Dubber's existence in the next twelve months. Only time will reveal the fate of the company amidst these ongoing struggles.
