Pros

Met some good people (junior level mostly) Office location

Cons

I'm a former employer at this company. For some reason they were hiring a huge amount of people in 2022 and 2023. In 2023 up until May people were joining in packs every week. But soon (same spring) Credera started making people redundant. (while still welcoming newcomers). No one was allowed to talk about the redundancies and the management threatened to treat it as a gross misconduct. Management came up with a performance review for each targeted employee that was listing the failed responsibilities that weren't part of the job description. There were no consultations and mostly threats from the management trying to make you resign yourself. Absolutely horrible experience. On top of that, I've never received any promised bonuses during my employment term. There was no severance package and the company haven't even paid me for the untaken holidays, which is a legal obligation. Very salesy company, a lot favouritism and poor management. Also they ask their new employees to give them 5 stars on Glassdoor the first day...

While we respect your perspective, we’d like to address a few points you raised: Consultation for Redundancies: We take employee well-being seriously, especially during challenging times like redundancies. Where we proposed redundancies, we entered full and meaningful consultation with those whose roles were impacted. Our practice is to consult with affected employees transparently and compassionately. Employee Discussions: We encourage open communication among our team members. While we don’t discourage discussions, we do ask everyone to be sensitive and respectful, especially when discussing sensitive matters. Our intention is to maintain a positive and supportive work environment. Accrued and Unused Holiday Pay: We always pay employees for any accrued but unused holiday pay as at their leaving date. We may ask employees to take their leave during their notice period, whether worked or unworked. If there was any oversight or mistake, please reach out to me directly, and we’ll rectify it promptly. Bonus: If employees are eligible for a bonus this will be outlined in their contract. These are paid annually to current eligible employees not working their notice, taking into consideration company performance and an individual’s performance. Redundancy payments: These are discussed with individuals in individual consultation and are consistent across the business area.

Pros

Full time work from home

Cons

Unfortunately BrightGen has gone down hill in an exceptional fashion and currently have very few clients, projects or opportunities. Used to be a fantastic place to work filled with lovely energetic people and a real team spirit, now it's just a corporate nightmare that lacks passion and cohesion. HR have lost the people element and become very "inhuman" which can lead to a lack of urgency, compassion and understanding. Recently made a lot of people redundant due to a lack of revenue, but the new CEO made lots of hires with over complicated titles and enormous salaries. Seem to haemorrhage any real talent because no one is ever properly briefed about projects, they don't know who they report too and are given very little support because everyone is "too busy" to help. Too many managers/execs can never seem to agree on anything. Bare minimum benefits, including pension and maternity. Do not believe the hype/.

Pros

They appear to have poor hiring practices

Cons

I was really unimpressed by Credera's hiring practices. Last year I was interviewing for jobs, and had a couple of offers, one of which was Credera. I accepted the role at Credera, as (on paper) it looked like the better role. So I signed the contract and was excited to start. The role wasn't supposed to start until about 4 months after the offer date, so I decided to have a break from work for that time and then relocated to Manchester as I was not living there at the time. Shortly before the role was supposed to start (about 2 months), I received a phone call from Credera that they were not taking in any new employees for the role I had been offered (and had a signed contract for) at that time, and that they would be delaying it by 9 months. So I re-signed a contract for the new start date. I (maybe naively) believed Credera, and decided to take on temporary work in that time, rather than work in software development as I thought it could potentially take me much longer to find work in that field and I needed to find work quickly. Anyway, when it was about 3 months before the new start date (6 months after when I should have started), they rang to say that they weren't taking any employees in for that role and that I should find other work. Overall it was an incredibly negative experience, and I feel like Credera has set me back a bit in my career timewise, as I had turned down other good jobs in favour of the job they offered, which ultimately did not exist. I was really disappointed as I had been really excited to start my career in software development and the advertised job had looked great, and Credera had really positive reviews on Glassdoor. From reading recent reviews, they've been making redundancies and so I imagine that's why they stopped taking in new people at junior level. I think if that is the case it is unethical to offer the roles, and then also to keep delaying the start date when there is a chance that the job will not exist. I have seen other reviews on here to tell a similar story, so it looks like I was not alone in this experience.
