      A sinking ship that keeps making U-turns into icebergs - Anonymous employee Pod Point Employee Review

      Pros

      Employees currently get a free EV charger once you've been there 6 months. Not sure if this benefit will remain once EDF have fully taken over the business.

      Cons

      In 2 years of being at Pod Point, I went through: - 3 different CEOs - 6 different line managers - 4 rounds of redundancies (or was it 5? One of them was split into 2 phases, so I've lost count). Each time a new CEO arrives, they clean out the C-suite level and bring all their friends in to make U-turn changes in all of the strategic directions of the organisation. Instead of focussing on what customers need and want, half-finished projects are shipped to customers, then everyone rushes through another shiny ill-thought-out project. The only constant has been erosion of morale, and the gradual chipping away of workplace benefits. Fully remote roles are mostly being replaced by hybrid London-based roles (regardless of what the HR replies to these Glassdoor reviews say), narrowing the pool of talent that can be recruited into roles, and making the handful of contractually fully remote staff feel even more ostracised. The suspicious deluge of 5* reviews from current employees definitely feels like a push from HR to get their clique of friends to distort Glassdoor rating from being a true reflection of working here.

      Hi there, Dean here from the People Team! It's unfortunate that you feel this way, and whilst I am always open for a further conversation (dean.jennings@pod-point.com) I do wish to ensure the facts are clarified as below: 1) Yes, we did have to resort to redundancies to right-size the business and ensure we had the best people, in the right roles, and have always been transparent as to why and how this would effect the business. There have been a total of 3. With the results of that change bringing some real positive strides forwards for the business. 2) No clique here - we encourage all staff across all levels/departments to share their thoughts, and it's my role in ensuring everybody (both past & present) are heard. Everything you need can be found on Glassdoor, and for any questions future employees might have, I can be found on LinkedIn for a conversation! 3) Remote work & Hybrid work is here to stay. Finding the right balance is key to ensure we have SME's not just in and around London, but across the globe as we expand into a number of different markets. We will always be, where the charging needs to happen. It's clear that this perhaps was not the right business for you and I want to wish you all the best for the future. Thank you.

      Pros

      - The dynamic in the business is very positive, enthusiastic and caring. - Despite a tough market to work in at the moment, the SLT are working together well and facing this challenge head on, rather than burying their heads in the sand. They have a clear vision. I have confidence in their plans. - Pod (Point) are very adaptable and eager to change and improve, refreshingly more so than any prior company I've worked for (due to hierarchy and bureaucracy). Company-wide improved agile ways of working shouldn't be understated. - Managers are open and approachable. - Remote working approach is very productive, both for solo work and remote meetings, and this provides a great work/life balance by avoiding commuting, and providing convenience. - The work and projects are interesting and varied. - A great brand and product business to be associated with. - There have been promotion and development opportunities, and internal development/investment in individuals.

      Cons

      - Due to financial & market pressures (and possibly having grown the business a bit too quickly in the past), there have been rounds of redundancies over the last 2 years. This appears to have been essential in order to protect the business and ultimately others' jobs in the process. This has obviously impacted morale and confidence as you'd expect, but the business has focussed well on the recovery from this. - Individual training budgets have been very tight for a long period of time. The cost of not investing in the training of staff could be greater than the cost of doing so. - The benefits package is quite basic and is more generous elsewhere.

      Hi there, Dean here from the People Team. I just wanted to say thank you for such an honest insight into all things Pod related over the past couple of years. It's really good to see that, despite the changes, your positive outlook for the business matches the energy those changes were set to bring! I hear you on the development and benefits points that are raised, and do want to give you some confidence that we are working on a number of projects to support this in the team. If you wanted to find out some more about this, please do slack me directly and we can pick up a conversation. All the best!
