Pros

Makes you learn how to be more discerning when joining 'start ups'

Cons

Bad culture, intimidating, not collaborative at all like what you'd expect from a start up. Its a start up trying to style itself after a big financial institution but also not really sure of where its going. People are just digits and nobody is expected to stay for long - loyalty is not valued. Attitude of disregard and arrogance from management permeates through the organisation. No room for career progression, people get pigeonholed into very specific roles very quickly and no chance for you to change that impression since people are let go / asked to leave / bullied out after about 6 - 12 months.

Thanks for the feedback. We hired a lot of people last year to accommodate our growth, and that did lead to some friction, especially when we changed our sales structure. We have a lot of loyal MarketInvoice veterans who’ve been here for a long time and witnessed the really tricky start-up times; and it wasn’t easy bringing so many new people in a short space of time. We’ve listened and made some changes since then and as a result we’ve made massive strides forward with our working culture, opportunities for progression and training. Feedback like this has really helped us design a new, transparent way of hiring and working – so thanks again! Paul

Pros

Employees are heard. Surveys are sent out for employee feedback and actions are taken accordingly to address employee concerns/ preferences. Management are transparent. Questions may be submitted anonymously and management will answer each week at Townhall. New joiners find the company to be forward thinking.

Cons

Fast moving company with scrappy solutions at times. This leads to rework, but people are willing to work together to fix issues. There is a forgiving and understanding nature among the employees.

Thank you for your review and feedback. We are passionate about creating an open and employee-centric culture. We use CultureAmp for our employee surveys and use the points and data collated to create goals and action points for leadership and other business functions. Our Townhall is a transparent and open space for employees to understand more about the direction of the business and to be kept in the loop with leadership choices and thoughts. As a scale-up business, our challenge is building fast and at times appreciate this would mean re-doing work, we would would welcome suggestions by anyone in improving this aspect.
