Would not recommend - Anonymous employee Satchel Employee Review

A lot of people have just left/handed their notice in and the prospects look bleak. - low pay in many teams - poor prospects... the company has already reached saturation in its key market and is struggling to find new opportunities. - Job risk - after struggling for cash and almost enforcing layoffs last year, it won't be too long before this happens again with the amount of customers leaving. I fear for the people that work here. - lack of coaching. People have worked hard and been promoted beyond their capabilities and now are seriously struggling to cope. - people stretched too thinly to do their jobs properly - very high turnover of people in key teams. If you can't keep your staff it says a lot about the business. If any more of the development team leave there won't be anyone to fix the app when it breaks! If it breaks we lose even more customers. - the CEO is particularly bad. He has very unrealistic expectations of what is achievable, especially when many of his "projects" are of little value and distract the team from their core responsibilities. He makes promises to customers that are impossible to keep, or simply doesn't tell the business about them, and then blames others when those promises aren't kept. He frequently dismisses the opinion of other senior leaders unless they agree with him. He contradicts himself all the time, is quick to blame others for his failings and equally quick to fire people that he just doesn't like. The business has succeeded so far in spite of him. It's only a matter of time.
