Good Place - Linux Systems Administrator Emark. Employee Review

Great company culture in Haarlem Nice employee events Opportunity to get involved in charities Entrepreneurial environment Autonomy in roles and plenty of opportunity to stretch your skills (if you're in the right team)

The business is trying to grow since its investment a year ago but there still isn't a clear direction from leadership on where this growth should come from Investment in staffing is lacking, the 'bootstrap' mentality doesn't work for enterprise projects Very slow to replace people who have been fired or who have left Resourcing is poorly considered so several large projects have failed because of an attitude of 'sell it now and worry about delivering it later' Benefits package is non-existent and there is little investment in training Leadership team are inexperienced and often seem out of their depth

Snacks, Dogs, Friends, Music, great coffee blah blah. But beyond this, everyone I interacted with day to day was so capable and warm. The flexi office space allowed such freedom. There was clear communication from top to bottom and a clear passion from the top for a desire for emarkers to grow and amaze everyone. Emark is a salesforce product deployment partner - one of a few. But it's clear to me that our ideas blew competitors' out of the water.

There was a frustrating lack of leads coming in - most of the work depended on us actually pitching to Salesforce in order for them to recognise us as a suitable deployment partner for their unwanted clients. I think the London office lacked confidence; it's strange feeling 80% beholden to a multinational cultish conglomerate.
