Pros

I cannot think of a pro to working here.

Cons

Toxic leadership CEO is toxic Terrible pay No progression Little to no company events - if there is, expect to put your hand in your own pocket Sub-par working equipment - old laptops and screens Everything is done as cheaply as possible Working in a terrible warehouse (putting a desk in a warehouse doesn't make it an office) Rat / mouse infestations in warehouse (or office, as they call it) Terrible location No corporate benefits - we previously had gym membership, they took it away. Broken promises on corporate benefits Commissions being taken away from sales people Arbitrary firings No direction Not going anywhere No work life balance No work from home* *If you somehow get WFH as a benefit, expect company meetings to be held on these days so you must come in. Also, the co-founder even quit. Yes, really.

Geomiq Response

We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. We have passed on the points for senior management to review. We work hard to create an ambitious and inclusive business that supports each employee and their aspirations. It is disappointing to hear that this has not always been your experience and it is something we will take on board as we continue to grow and scale. Both our strategy and the direction of the business are agreed at a board level, and we have industry leaders as well as our CEO who decide the direction of the business. We have, like many other businesses, faced challenges in the recent economy but our CEO has led us clearly and effectively through these. If you would like to opportunity to discuss any of these then please reach out to our People team, Amelia and she will be happy to talk through all these points with you. We want to make sure you are heard here at Geomiq and reassure you we take all these points very seriously.

Pros

- The work is genuinely interesting. Helping customers solve pretty complex engineering/manufacturing problems means it’s different every day and keeps you engaged. - Loads of ownership. There are so many growth and learning opportunities here because you’re actually trusted to take the lead on things. - Great shift in leadership. In the last 6–12 months, the CEO completely reprioritised his time to focus on supporting the team around him and being available for advice and support whenever it's needed. It feels like the company is really finding its rhythm and the culture is in a great place now. - Brilliant people. It’s not just about being talented either. The teams are quite mature now, so the atmosphere is great. Everyone’s happy to share what they know, so you never feel like you're working in a silo. - Great location in Hackney. Lots of good spots nearby for lunch or after work, and the commute is super simple as it’s so close to the tube and overground stations.

Cons

It’s definitely more of a scale-up than a start-up now. There’s a lot of new structure and improved processes being added all the time, which is exactly what we need to keep growing, but it can be a fast-paced adjustment to keep up with it all!

Pros

Geomiq is one of the most ambitious and well-led businesses I've worked with. The senior management team are commercially astute, strategically clear and back their people properly. I was promoted three times in under three years and given real responsibility at every stage, including leading a team of 9 to a record-breaking quarter. The direction of the business is genuinely compelling, and the clarity of vision from the top sets the tone for the whole team. Manufacturing-as-a-service is a category in the making and Geomiq is positioned at the sharp end of it. Two successful funding rounds during my time speak for themselves, but what's more impressive is how disciplined and considered the growth has been. Great culture, smart colleagues, and a sense that you're part of something that's going somewhere meaningful.

Cons

Fast-paced, but if you’re the kind of person who thrives on growth and challenge, that’s a feature, not a bug.
