Pros

- Great dev structure and leadership - Good clients for your CV - Free snacks - Brand new macbook pro

Cons

Really low salaries/bonuses compared to other places Afraid to stand up to clients, at the detriment of their own devs Little investment in current employees Very cliquey, don't expect to be invited out after work Projects badly managed People always leaving, means continuity in projects is low Unless you're a senior management favourite, don't expect much attention or help

Hello, Thanks for your review. As always, we welcome all feedback in order to make sure we’re continuing to improve life at Pulselive. We're pleased to see that you valued the projects and clients you worked on/with as well as being positive about how we structure our development teams and the Leadership behind this. We have worked hard to create an environment that allows our team members to enjoy owning their work and to thrive, with appropriate support from senior colleagues. We are sorry to hear that you didn’t feel positive about a few things during your time at Pulselive. We are committed to investing in our staff and this is highlighted by a number of significant promotions achieved at all levels in the business this year. Regarding your comments about staff leaving, we have to be honest and find this surprising. We have actually had very few leavers this year. We also make sure we have regular company outings and social evenings in order to encourage socialising across teams and offices. Finally, we recognise that working in sport is not as lucrative as some sectors (e.g. finance), however, we endeavour to offer very competitive salaries and benefits packages within the current marketplace. Once again, thanks for taking the time to review.

Pros

* Literally cannot think of anything good to say about this company

Cons

- 40 hour week, poor salary and constant time monitoring you will be hounded constantly so if your looking for a nice working environment this isn't it. Micro managed by kids - I saw some staff in tears, spoken to terribly by higher staff members - Senior level is poor, and most of them are remote in spain making it even worse to communicate with people who have broken english PLEASE DONT WORK HERE IT WILL BE THE BEST LIFE DECISION YOU HAVE EVER MADE
