Thanks for the feedback - if you are genuinely a current employee of Adzuna, we're really, truly sorry to hear you feel this way. We come to work because we are making a difference, surrounded by smart, engaged, nice people. Based on the feedback we hear from others in the company and responses to employee surveys we have run, your experience doesn't reflect our company culture of transparency, involvement in decisions, share options, flexibility etc. We try hard and genuinely care about making a great working envrionment - but we're not perfect - so if something has gone wrong personally for you or within your team, we're definitely keen to learn and put it right. I'd suggest you have a chat with your manager and raise your concerns directly with them - or as ceo/founder my door is always open - or with hr or any member of the management team you feel most comfortable with.

Pros

Decent product, and some fun colleagues.

Cons

Everything else, it starts with the founders who are oblivious to the world and their employees, to the lack of real vision and any prospects for either the company or the employees. employees are treated more as slave, being told what to do as opposed to being supported to do the right thing. It creates a very negative environment. The founders enjoy shaming the employees in public as well, so hopefully you have a tough skin if you decide to join!

Pros

fun colleagues, laid-back environment, and great social activities

Cons

The work sometimes is so monotonous and menial. Expanding into new markets is great but seriously, their approach gives you no room for your own creativity and input. All they care about is link building and chasing people like anything for it - although it should be done, it's not the end all be all. Why hire talented and educated people to do such work? I have worked in several companies before and never have I come across such type of work. I also don't see much growth within the co. Overall verdict is - it's boring!

Thanks a lot for the review and feedback. Really glad you enjoyed working with our talented and fun team, our great office environment and our social events - and really sorry you found some of the work boring. I can't tell from the review exactly what your role at Adzuna was or how long ago you worked here, but .... there is much more to our market expansion work than menial/monotonous linkbuilding you mention - for example, social media, PR, writing a blog, setting up paid campaigns, engaging with customers, signing up partnerships etc. Yes, we have targets of course but there's loads of room for creativity on how to achieve them - other team members have achieved some truly incredible results promoting their country sites, from being featured in major national newspapers across the world, to producing viral videos, to writing guest blogs and columns about jobs and the economy on some seriously influential websites. Sometimes there may be some repetitive tasks mixed in, hopefully supported by tools and automation, but it doesn't have to feel boring - as founder I too have done this role in my time and saw it as an exciting challenge, and we truly believe that having talented mini entrepreneurs leading our growth in each country can be an exciting and inspiring role. Will take your feedback on board - as we do with all the feedback we get from our monthly employee surveys we now run - and discuss with the key managers if there is anything to learn from it to make these roles even more engaging going forward - as well as make sure the career growth and personal development you mention is happening there too.
