IMP Software – Disorganised, Mismanaged, and Not Ready for Senior Talent
Pros
It was a fully remote position
Cons
Leadership lacks technical maturity and strategic direction. Head of Engineering dismisses expert input in favour of unverified online theories. Months of valid work scrapped with no justification, leading to wasted time and resources. Misalignment on roles — expected to perform DevOps/IaC tasks outside core responsibilities. Repeatedly pulled into irrelevant meetings; feedback to optimise was ignored. Blurred boundaries between professional and personal conduct. Security treated as an afterthought, not a strategic pillar. Low salary for senior cybersecurity responsibilities (£70k is below market). No clear roadmap for integrating senior technical specialists. Culture discourages honest feedback and critical thinking.
