      Pros

      Lots of great people to work with, everyone is friendly and gets along well. People seem to stay long after tiring of the constant drama because of friendships with their coworkers. The office environment is the same as most startups, open office, table tennis, beer at the end of the day, etc. For some roles, there is opportunity to travel or attend events.

      Cons

      For many reasons, employees are leaving at alarming rates. There is no proper internal organisation and everything seems chaotic. The management team has also created a large rift between themselves and everyone else. Rather than address root causes of company issues, employees are blamed and severely micromanaged. They refuse to listen when suggestions are made, and those bringing up issues are often reprimanded at best or fired at worst. They have unknowingly trained employees to paint a pretty picture that everything is fine, rather than tell the truth when reporting upwards because of this culture of retribution. Outside of the development team and brand new starters, there are few employees who aren't searching for new jobs, and conversations are openly had amongst employees about how interviews are going and who will be the next to quit.

      Thanks for your review - we appreciate you taking the time to give us this feedback and we’re sorry you didn’t have a good experience working here. We agree that the environment here created by our people is one of the best things about working here and the friendly startup culture is something we’re always working to preserve. It is true that in a startup things can be chaotic - prospective employees of startups of all stages should be comfortable with change and happy to move at a fast pace. We take open communication and multi-directional feedback very seriously and we’re always looking for ways to improve this. Internal communication is something we’re always looking to improve now and in the future. A level of turnover in a startup is of course inevitable, but our top priority is to retain great talent, and we’re always looking for ways to improve this, so we appreciate your feedback. Wishing you all the best in your next role and thank you for you work here.

      Pros

      In its current guise, nothing.

      Cons

      During my time at BridgeU I have seen: - Most senior technical staff leave, averaging 1 per month. - Leadership U-turns are a regular occurrence. - A team sore from redundancies only to be met with more redundancies the next year. - A legacy application where trying to make any kind of change feels like herding cats. - An acquisition where most of what remained of the tech team was laid off despite reassurances that there would be long term engineering effort in the UK. On the acquisition... upon announcement we were informed that a strategic review was underway. This is code for "We're making redundancies". Our first meeting with the new CEO was a spectacle where he bragged about his business acumen. Shared how he had declined to buy a Ferrari so he could buy BU and complained that most of his new minions had their cameras off. Additionally, the current CEO spent 5 minutes sucking up to his new boss about how great the acquisition process was, especially since the new boss had just had a baby. Those of us who were worried about feeding our own children didn't appreciate it. Due to the political situation in the US and the recent announcements regarding immigration in the UK, this business probably has a limited lifespan. To my former colleagues in all areas of the business, get out as soon as you can.

      Pros

      Amazing culture, considerate, inclusive, kind, everything I thought didn't exist anymore in the corporate world.

      Cons

      Just a bad product with a lack of innovation due to limited funds I believe. I think the company was actually bought out after I left as it was really struggling. A shame as such brilliant people within the team.
