Shocking - Field Sales Associate Scoffable Employee Review

Chance to use cutting edge technologies. Exciting work and challenging problems. The common sense approach always wins. Hardly any red tape or ridiculous big business reasons to avoid doing the "right" thing. When it's not obvious what the "right" thing is, we tend to have an open debate to determine what that is. Lots to do, and as employees we have a big say in what we work on next, and what the product to be developed should look like. We are given time to finish a product properly and get it really slick (rather than chop the end of the project off and have a mediocre solution) Avoidance of Agile ceremonies etc (see common sense above). It's a small enough team so we manage to avoid that drudgery - everyone knows what everyone else is working on, and we demo stuff all the time. We release often and review each others stuff on Github. We have whiteboards, and use many cloud based tools. We also have Apple computers (although I'm secretly a Windows and Linux sympathiser). It's quite a lot of fun. Pun-ishment, South Park quotes etc.

Being a small team, there is less employee diversity compared to larger teams (i.e you are pretty much working with the same people every day). Sometimes the projects can be so big you feel a bit crushed under the weight of them. Doing the obvious things of breaking the projects down into micro achievements helps, but sometimes it feels like a project will never finish! The current project I've been working on pretty much solidly for 6 months and it isn't "done".

Watching the company grow from the ground up is extremely exciting and interesting, adapting to customers wants and needs flawlessly. Staff given a lot of positive responsibility enabling us to feel like an integral part of the company Extremely friendly & approachable management with an enthusiasm for staff feedback & ideas no matter how trivial. Fantastic opportunities for career progression in all areas. Inspiring leadership with clear plans on where we want to go and how to get there. Ability to grow quickly on both personal & professional level. Time spent streamlining any tedious tasks to ensure that work is never stale. Great working environment with excellent communication between all departments means that individual employees have their voices heard. Both internal & external team building events strengthen the community feel between colleagues all working towards the same goal. Excellent software development team ensuring that processes for both staff & customers is optimal, with exciting projects and releases on the way. Equipment & benefits provided for staff is second to none. Both management & colleagues very flexible in working hours & holidays, so never stuck for that day off! Any feedback pertaining to the improvement of all aspects of the company is taken on board immediately and discussed.

With such a fast paced environment, the rapid growth of the company highlights areas of work where certain processes need to be smoothed out and structured in more optimal way, however great effort is made by all areas to iron out these flaws as quickly as possible.
