Pros

Maybe they'll be able to sell at good valuation

Cons

No clear strategic direction Company just burning through cash as if it's nothing All of the senior management get paid too much Continuosly make redundancies because of poor cash management No plan for most likely an incoming recession and slowdown in the tech hiring space Could save money if they just got rid of the office and made it remote only but they want people to come in.. No idea why, easy win to save money Forcing people to come in 2/3 times a week

Hi there We appreciate you taking your time to share your opinions, thank you. We would love to have the opportunity to speak with you in more detail about your feedback to be able to take learnings from it, as some of it may come from a place of misunderstanding. We acknowledge that communication around how hackajob spends money has not always been clear to everyone. Your various points related to this overall topic serve as a valuable reminder of where we need to focus our efforts to better support our team members with education and communication around business decisions. We are working on this. On a team by team basis, we do encourage occasional office meetings for optimal collaboration, plus we ask that country teams all come together in office on the final Thursday of each month. Outside of that, attendance at the office is entirely optional. We respect and support each individual's decision regarding their preferred working location and we provide an allowance to enable everyone to build a comfortable working environment in their homes. Thank you once again for sharing your perspective with us. Your input helps us to continuously improve and evolve as an organisation. If you would be open to discussing this further so we can understand your views in more detail please reach out to me via email, amy@hackajob.co. Thanks, Amy, Director of People

Pros

The people are great, I get along with all my coworkers, and with a small team in the US, I feel that they have my back if i need support or help with anything. Training their employees to do a better job - investing in people. Great product, hackajob intelligence is amazing. Consistent and open communication with managers. They have invested into tools to help employees succeed. Expectations are clearly communicated.

Cons

Don't mind it personally, but for some people constant change can be a negative, and the company has startup energy. Wearing many hats and trying out new things all the time, less structure and more exploration, figure it out as we go.

Hi there I appreciate you taking the time to share this review. Your comments about the support within the US Team are awesome to read and we agree! I bet it was also great to be with the whole team at the recent RecFest (US) where hackajob intelligence was launched to the US market! Communication between managers/leaders and our people is something we've worked hard to improve so it's encouraging to hear that you feel it's open and expectations are clear. That, plus investing in learning and development for everyone really helps all of us deliver. We often hear feedback that ongoing change can create a working environment that's more challenging for some. This is an ongoing area of improvement for us, and we continue to try to find that balance between experimentation/newness and structure/consistency to find a better blend for everyone, but without losing the startup energy that has got us this far. If you have any suggestions on how we can continue to improve any aspect of working here, please reach out to me directly on Slack or via our People Office Hours. Thanks, Amy, VP People

Pros

I joined hackajob about 6 months ago as part of the growing US team. I felt very supported by my manager and the entire team throughout my onboarding. The US team is very collaborative and it's been a great experience to partner with and learn from everyone on the team. In the past 6 months, I have had many opportunities for growth and a clear career progression plan, which I appreciate. Wins are celebrated by the team and everyone truly works together to solve challenges that come up. I have had 3 sales roles prior to working at hackajob, and I have been nothing but happy with the support, opportunities for growth, and rewarding environment here.

Cons

As in any startup environment, things change quickly. Not necessarily a con, but it requires being open-minded and flexible.
