Do not work here! - Client Manager Made Tech Employee Review

- Great culture and driven team

- Leadership moves too fast for the rest of the company to keep up

Mission with Substance: Unlike many consultancies where social value is a footnote, Made Tech’s commitment to the public sector is the core driver. Leading the Data and AI practice here means solving problems that actually affect citizens' lives - from healthcare efficiency to smarter government services. Engineering Excellence: There is a deep-seated respect for modern engineering principles (TDD, pair programming, and robust CI/CD). This makes me feel proud of the work our teams deliver because the underlying data foundations are built with quality in mind, not just speed. Radical Transparency: The Open by Default culture isn't just a slogan. From salary bands to the company handbook and even board-level decisions, the level of transparency is refreshing and builds a high-trust environment for leaders. Autonomy to Build: As a Practice Head, you aren't fighting red tape. There is genuine appetite for innovation in LLMs and data engineering, and the leadership team provides the runway to shape the roadmap authentically.

Consulting Pace: Like any high-growth consultancy, the pace can be intense. Navigating public sector procurement cycles alongside rapid-fire delivery requires a high level of resilience and stakeholder management. Maturing Processes: As the company scales, some of the internal startup-style processes are still catching up to the size of the organisation. It’s a work in progress, but it requires patience.
