      Changes have helped the company but more to do

      Pros

      Chevin has a good team of workers. There is good communication and since the restructure, there has been a better defined future for the company. There is a good mix of new and old employees allowing for good training and a good understanding of the products. A more defined product team has also allowed the company to better define itself and move significantly forward

      Cons

      Whilst the teams work well, a better defined management structure and complaints procedure is needed. Burnout is a real issue at Chevin due to people working above and beyond to ensure projects go to plan. There is also a tendency for people to take total ownership of projects rather than a collaborative team, which means milestones are missed and there are power struggles when it comes to decision making.

      High turnover and burnout but a rewarding challenge

      Pros

      Lots of new challenges and the company has started to get its act together. Some very great people to work with who collaborate. Work from home works well. Not a bad place to work but it does require a lot of work/life balance sacrifice it feels like. Great chief and exec team who are open to making things work and turn the company around

      Cons

      Revolving door of staff, good talent leaving the company for more pay and the promise of greener pastures. Product is showing it’s age, it’s slow and is leagues behind in technology and has an identity crisis going from just an asset management tool to an ‘everything’ tool, jack of all trades, master of none. There’s always fires caused by it, never any stability it just always seems like there’s escalations every day with no way out. This feels like it’s caused by a mix of bad decision making, lack of product knowledge, hiring the wrong people and the decades of bespoke features added in. Feels like the ‘yes men’ culture is still present which is just adding more problems all the time. Teams are overstretched, tired and losing talent meaning they’re always replacing then training then replacing again

      Pros

      Some great people, nice office in good town centre location at UK HQ, some really interesting customers with interesting challenges. Career opportunities are good as new roles which offer opportunities for promotion come up very often for a medium sized business. Generally a pleasant place to work and there is lots of effort going into moving the business forwards (though at times this is hampered by bad decisions and apparent lack of funding).

      Cons

      Shortage of QA & Product Management resources. Product is difficult to deliver for customers who require a high level of customisation as the software has not been developed with 'ease of delivery' in mind. There is a culture of "develop first, design never", which has resulted in poor product documentation and ill conceived features.
