Codeplay Software Reviews

- Very little in way of promotion. I've had positions dangled over my head with zero outcome. - Poor pay raise, if you can call them a raise. - Many growing pains - Not much support when asked for, most of the time you just get pointed to a link. - Currently hemorrhaging staff. - Pushing diversity and inclusion even though the company is already diverse and inclusive, a sign of the end times.

Lack of focus on a goal. Codeplay makes money from customer contracting. Clear efforts need to be focused into pivoting to products if that's actually the goal. The cultural diversity at Codeplay is great and provides something unique that not a lot of companies have, but Codeplay tends to hire a very particular kind of graduate who is usually extremely academic in very particular areas. Since the hiring process has been opened up to the entire company the standard is extremely high but inconsistent. This has lead to a slight atmosphere of elitism and created a "hiring problem", when there probably isn't one. Other reviews mentioned the ratio of technical to non-technical staff being very high - this is true. It's hard to see though, how Codeplay can scale and move towards selling products when 95% of the company is extremely technical. Codeplay needs to think about how to treat employees who have served the company for a longer term. There are many things about Codeplay which are appealing to graduates and it truly gives a tech' company vibe - but some care needs to be focused towards more senior members of staff who may have different priorities and goals.
