Pros
Growing a new marketplace, interesting technologies, passionate staff.
Cons
In 2017 wejo had a fantastic opportunity; it had investment from a global leader and hired the best talent in Manchester. Fast forward; redundancies, offices being closed, and the best talent leaving or left. The biggest con of all? The treatment of employees. During COVID-19 wejo used it to save money and furlough half the business. Everyone who remained worked crazy hours with the promise affected employees would come back to their jobs. wejo lied and one month later made them all redundant. To add salt to the wound, wejo are not paying redundancies in full and not honouring contractual notices. Instead, wejo will be paying at a furloughed capped rate then claim it all back from the government. For remaining staff; we are being told to accept a significant reduction in salary, take on triple the workload, see our colleagues/friends being mistreated, with no direction or comms from the CEO. I no longer trust the business and the decisions it's making. I have told my team I am now looking for new employment and recommend they do the same. There is no job security left with this business; I do not see wejo lasting another six months. Do not join wejo because; weak and inexperienced leadership, employees treated poorly, very few benefits or perks, no business model, and no finance control.
