Pros

1. Engaging & Challenging Work: POWWR is a company that has undergone many positive changes recently. As a QA Manager at POWWR, I tackle complex software issues and ensure the quality of products used by a wide range of customers and internal teams. It's a fast-paced and demanding environment, but this means I'm constantly learning new things, adapting technologies and methodologies to suit our needs. 2. Talented & Collaborative Team: The QA team at POWWR has been expanding recently and is full of incredibly talented and creative individuals. Like any QA team, we work together to identify and solve problems. However, everyone is always willing to help and share their knowledge. Working as part of the Dev teams, it's a truly collaborative environment that fosters positive and innovative outcomes. 3. Growth Opportunities: The dedicated focus on employee development, driven from the very top level down, is what sold me on joining POWWR. I've been empowered to grow my role and build a strong QA team that's also developing themselves. This has allowed me to gain valuable leadership experience and make a real impact on the company's success. 3. Empowering Culture: POWWR is developing a fantastic culture that truly values employee input. I have a seat at the table and am encouraged to contribute my ideas and make important decisions. I feel like my judgement is highly valued, and I can make a real difference in the quality of our products and teams. 4. Forward-Thinking & Growing Company: POWWR is clearly planning for the future and is well-positioned for continued success. They're always looking at ways to innovate and expand their product offerings, which in turn, creates a lot of exciting opportunities for the QA team.

Cons

As with any company, there's always room for improvement. However, I honestly haven't encountered any major drawbacks in my time at POWWR that can't be resolved. The company is constantly evolving and actively seeks employee feedback to address any potential issues proactively. In my experience, any challenges I've faced have been swiftly addressed by management, demonstrating their commitment to creating a positive work environment.

Pros

Entrepreneurship environment. Smart team, willing to try to do new things for the right reasons. Proud of how the company has cared for the well-being of employees during Covid.

Cons

Aggressive sales goals, they have been achieved so far. Some confusions as teams figure out the best way to move forward... but it's understandable with a company that made the Inc5000 last year, and all done collaboratively and with positivity.

Pros

Small team that allows you to try things outside of your comfort zone. Flexible schedule.

Cons

The products are not great, I spent most of my time marketing for features that were being built, lack of leadership since new management.

Thank you for sharing your feedback about your experience working at our company. We value your input and take your comments seriously. We are a little surprised and confused with your comments since the company has progressed massively in the last 17 months. Noting from your location and job title you must of worked for us before this time. During this time, we have provided our company with strong leadership with the appointment of our CEO Matt Tormollen and Head of Product Colin Gault, who have made significant positive impacts. We are proud to share that we currently have an 82% engagement score and an eNPS score of 44 from our people. We measure this on a quarterly basis and keep all our people updated on the comments and feedback. Regarding your comment about our products, we appreciate your honesty. You mention the broker product, this is only available in the UK and has been for some time and is continuing to gain traction in the marketplace. We do strive to continuously improve our offerings and value feedback from both our employees and customers. We encourage you to share specific suggestions or concerns regarding our products, as this insight can help us in iterating and delivering the best possible solutions. We acknowledge your frustration about marketing features that were not ultimately released. We understand that this can be frustrating and apologize for any confusion it may have caused. We are committed to enhancing our communication channels to ensure that employees are informed about product developments and updates in a timely manner. We are pleased to hear, however, that you found the work environment flexible and that the small team allowed for personal growth and experimentation. We strive to create an environment where employees can explore new opportunities and exceed their own expectations. Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we wish you all the best in your future endeavours.
