Pros

I was fortunate enough to find myself in the best team I had ever worked in. Then I got the opportunity to experience the ruthlessness of a pre-profit business.

Cons

- Never got to work on the things that needed working on - Always under pressure - Corporate devotion to promoting Culture was basically an attempt to get us to do more work - Don't count on your bonus, even if you work hard - Got made redundant on a company wide call - I was shocked to my core and management did not care

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on your time at Koodoo. We value your feedback and apologise for the challenges you faced. While we appreciate your insights on areas for improvement, we'd also like to address recent changes and challenges mentioned in your review. Last February, Koodoo underwent a strategic pivot, which was a decision that was made with careful consideration. We understand the impact this had on our team and extend empathy for the difficulties it presented. Decisions to restructure were challenging and we acknowledge each individual's contributions. Regarding some recent Glassdoor reviews, we recognize the emotions and frustrations that might be reflected. However, it's important to clarify that the portrayal of management's actions and the redundancy process does not fully represent the context. We assure you every effort was made to handle the process with care, respect, and transparency. While we acknowledge the challenges, we also want to convey a sense of optimism about the future of Koodoo. The pivot we've undertaken has positioned us for exciting opportunities and growth. As we move forward, we remain steadfast in our vision to create innovative solutions that empower our clients and drive positive change within the mortgage industry.

Pros

Was always trying to stay ahead and be innovative. Team in the UK was hard working and incredibly fun and inspiring to be around.

Cons

Working with the team overseas was incredibly challenging and when complaints were raised about their behaviour to certain members of the team in the UK it was never taken seriously. Team members overseas were often rewarded whilst the team in the UK would have to sit back and watch.
