Pros

I have been working at RateSetter AU for more than 2 years now and my experience so far has been really pleasant. There are ton of interesting projects, learning a lot from our head of engineering/architect and many talented peer software engineers. There are no/minimum office politics, well, at least nothing I experienced in the engineering department. People genuinely care about their work and want to get the best results. More importantly, everyone is very nice to each other, no big ego around. Many new technologies are introduced and it is nice to have the chance to work on many green-fields projects. The company and tech department are still young, we are facing many challenges, but also creating even more opportunities everyday. Truly a good time to work at RateSetter AU right now.

Cons

Hiring is very slow, sometimes takes months to find candidate, but we need talent. Since we are having a relative small team (20ish), sometimes you might have to switch contexts between development and operation.

Pros

- Still a small enough company to feel like you have made a difference and contributed to the goals. - Fantastic products that can help and resolve a lot of consumers monetary dilemmas. - Townhall meetings enable the workforce to be kept up to date with the vision on a monthly basis.

Cons

- A lot of influential people have left in the last twelve months which brings with it uncertainty as to why so many have resigned. - Communication is very poor when decision are made overnight and implemented without warning. - Leadership skills still lack across management. - Restrictive approach to renumeration across the whole company even though there are outstanding performers. This can only be due to the vision and p&l. - Fear more employees will resign and move on if they are not felt rewarded or appreciated. - Employee satisfaction is treated like a tick box exercise with a social committee and monthly questionnaire. For a relatively new business this is not the best approach to take and will not gain better morale.
