Do not waste your time

Pros

The people were nice and it was fully remote.

Cons

Everything else. Bad pay because your low salary goes to pay for the upper management/shareholders to gauge as much as they can from you, while they do their best to tarnish any goodwill the company used to have,

The ship is being dragged down by the captain

Pros

Some really good people working here Remote work is nice

Cons

I didn't want to review until I heard managements side of the story on the recent layoffs. I have heard their story now and the CEO has now made it clear that hes seen all of the negative feedback left by people on various websites and in person and is choosing to ignore all of it. Management are going to blindly carry on with the same strategies that have destroyed the company. This isn't so much the captain going down with the ship as the ship going down with the captain. The company is currently hiring for a huge number of open roles. This is because anyone with any talent is leaving. Do yourself a favour and steer well clear. Salaries are not competitive unless you consider approx 30k for chronic overwork competitive, everyone is looking for a way out, and the company has no future. I've started applying for new roles. I'm annoyed at myself for waiting so long and thinking anything might change.

Shambles of a company

Recommend

Business outlook

Pros

Absolutely none, waste of time

Cons

Absolute shambles of a company. Now to see they are recruiting for exact jobs they made over 200 redundant of less than 2 months ago is abysmal. That was the 2nd redundancy act within 6 months. The whole company is going down the pan. Courses are all out of date, asking people to pay £7k for a course you can learn how to do for free online. Shoddy equipment, staff are lazy, including marketing who show you how to do something when you ask so you don’t ask them to do their job in the future, you get on with it yourself. Management are a load of panzies and the CEO cares about nothing more than his ego. Being forced into a new job role that lands you into redundancy, cause they sent you onto the side of the business that was a sinking ship, saved by the skin of my teeth but commission taken away, only to be up for redundancy again 6 months later. Working for peanuts whilst working your rear end off. You have to tell students as part of your job that AI isn’t going to take over yet they want to automate everything to get rid of employees, save money and have a bunch of monkeys running the place. Do yourself a favour and don’t bother, I wish I never did.
