Pros
Management The CEO and CTO are great guys, young at heart, with clear passion for the product & success of the company. Upper middle management are doing a great job, with the exception of only a few. Product Emesent has an interesting technology, exciting to work with & an easy showcase. A passionate team of engineers lead the way in 3D mapping & autonomy with some of the most superior brains in the industry. Emesent create stunning output, changing the virtual world. Culture A mostly respectful inter-staff culture with loads of diversity. Great coffee machine. Fun location close to restaurants & bars with lively friday drinks & occasional kick-ons. A young demographic who promote healthy lifestyle choices. Excellent work flexibility with 1-2 days in office if necessary which is great for family. Location Close to restaurants & cafes, public transport. River views.
Cons
Management The CEO is an engineer without solid business acumen. The CTO rules tough and struggles to hear better judgement. I didn't meet the President as he never, or rarely, visited our office (next door). Since his arrival Emesent lost a large percentage of staff, workload amplified & sales dropped. Product Issues were ongoing. Lack of cohesione between teams. Wavering customer satisfaction. Targets forever changing so good luck achieving them. Staff High staff turnover, low job security & staff retention. They struggle to retain good talent. Staff expressed seeing out their shares & many looking elsewhere for work. Staff are disposable. Good luck getting reasonable pay for your efforts. Culture Hollow corporate jargon was sanitising the authentic culture. Much gossip & rumor with leaks seeming to come through management & assistants.
