Pros

You can meet some nice people but in terms of the job, no pros at all

Cons

Where to start? Management is a bunch of people that seriously lack management skills. Constant verbal harassment, insults and putting down their employees. There is no security whatsoever in this job, in my year here I have seen people come and go on a weekly basis at times, we have a couple of people leaving every month at a minimum. Why? Because the company does not value its people. Everyone working there apart from managers are waiting for the right opportunity to leave this place. And when you decide to leave HR bribes you with a recommendation letter in exchange for a good Glassdoor review... I mean, the length this company goes to try to cover up what an awful place it is to work at are just unbelievable. There is loads of jobs out there especially if you are looking for Business Development jobs with much better pay, benefits and working environment. Do not waste your time here

Thank you for your review, it is regrettable it didn't work out for you, but we wish you the best in the future. Fortunately there are many happy people in our team who have a very different view but we understand we aren't right for everyone.

Pros

- SSL247 hires a lot of young inexperienced staff so it's a good way to step in the industry and get some experience even if you just graduated. - Some staff are very professional and friendly, it's a pleasure to work with them. - You are quickly given more responsibilities and have a shot at showing what you're capable of. - International company and 2 offices in France and UK.

Cons

- Top managers maintain a toxic relationship with their employees: one is extremely rude towards staff, swears a lot and shows an unacceptable behaviour, the other is too distant (stays in another office) and hard to communicate with. - Lack of gender equality (female are more represented in repetitive office jobs, male are more represented in higher responsibility and management jobs) - Micro-management is the norm as well as constant changes in company direction. - The company persists in its errors and keeps blaming staff when failing to reach (unrealistic) targets. - No incentive to go the extra mile, success is poorly rewarded. - Management shows its obvious preference for the needs of the sales department

Dear former Colleague, We value your feedback and have taken on-board and shared your comments with our management team. We are glad you recognise the scope increasing responsibility for higher achievers. Regarding equality: at the time of writing, we have an equal number of male and female managers and our overall female to male ratio far exceeds the average for tech/software companies (source: Wall Street Journal – November ’15). Regarding company direction this is shared and monitored openly every year at the annual December ‘company day’ that precedes the Christmas party, and that includes every team member from the UK as well as France. You are probably unaware, in 2015, SSL247® ranked in the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 EMEA as one of the fastest growing tech companies in Europe. In addition, we received the “2015 Symantec EMEA Sales Growth Partner Award” and the “EMEA Symantec Champion 2014”. We however, take this opportunity to wish you the very best in your future endeavours. Thank you. HR Manager
