Pros
The people who worked there were incredible and exceptionally talented - not that that was ever used or appreciated.
Cons
I don't usually review companies, but I can see Trtl have started to hire again (after making EVERYONE redundant, and the last few leaving swiftly after), and I think it would be unfair to let someone go into a role blind. Michael Corrigan is one of the most egotistical and nasty bosses I have ever had the displeasure of working with. He worked his staff like dogs throughout the pandemic- we were often working 11-12 hour days to get what he wanted to be done. (then he would change his mind meaning we would need to start again) Do not expect the ability to be creative; Michael will want you to do what he asks to blame you when his plans don't work. Trtl held monthly catch-ups with Michael, where we were meant to open up about how the pandemic affected us. Usually, this would be an information finder for Michael about other staff, or he would reply to emails whilst speaking with you. The staff was asked to work on furlough. Michaels favourite phrase was "this is a marathon, not a sprint," but due to his ever-changing mind, you were usually going the 26 miles at the rate of Usain Bolt's 100-meter dash. I watched Michael make people cry on work calls for no reason. Michael would also fuel the flames on any inner company issues by refusing to speak for himself and having staff members send messages for him to remove himself from the situation. When we were made aware of our risk of redundancy, Michael went radio silent and refused to speak to anyone. Our redundancy calls lasted on average of 1 minute each, and we were not thanked or apologised to, told this was difficult for the company. After this, many staff had issues getting their belongings back from the office (which he wanted us to go into throughout lockdown against government advice purely for "coffee"). Staff were also treated as criminals when returning company property. Trtl could be a wonderful place to work if Michael left. However, he is truly an awful choice as a company head. He has let go of the two people who not only ran the company but regulated his behaviors, and that to me is a sad thought for anyone who might go into a future role at Trtl.
