Pros

Generally friendly people to work with, interesting challenges and a fun human product.

Cons

Sinking former market leader led by leadership with zero empathy and any lack of strategic planning which gives a clear direction to the people doing the work. Pushed everyone to break their backs on migrating half the brands to the worse of the two platforms and then moved to redundancies within weeks of the launch celebration. Followed that up with announcing back to office measures - one of the few genuine perks in back to back "industry standard" 4% company wide raises. Stated increased travel costs were already part of salary benchmarking done against the UK, not London cause most people work outside London. Called genuine concerns in QA "offensive". Told managers to get their teams on board and be positive rather than take ownership of needlessly demotivating a work force who just pulled off a huge transition with 0 consultation. The people who cared are leaving citing "they have burned out fighting the good cause". Strategy documents are copy/pastes still referencing "APG" despite the new CEO making a big deal about only updating his LinkedIn on Storio rebrand.

Pros

At its foundations Storio is great workplace with smart and supportive colleagues. The organization has good roots, culture and spirit and willingness to innovate.

Cons

While no company is perfect , there seems to be a worsening of trend at present within storio. Morale has taken a dip due to a few round of layoffs and reorganizing which has lead to generally higher workloads in the absence of pay raise. The direction from the relatively newer C - suite feels shortsighted and often unclear. There seem to be growing culture of finding faults and blaming instead of working together at the top. The pressure to manage upwards coupled with high workload, push for almost unrealistic short-term financial goals, dysfunction due to process gaps , anxiety of layoffs is a growing challenge.
