Pros

I found no pros. Sorry! Is there any way that I can lower my rate? Let say 0.1 star!!! You may like their dog if you love dog.

Cons

Bad management, rude behavior, bossy. Devs often given tasks by 5:00pm by the general manager, saying I need this tomorrow morning. I am serious!!! Their dog is not my problem, i love dog. Her boss however behaves much much worse. Discussed with others developers on how they fell and I found that I was the only senior dev there. 5 out of 6 devs started at company as the first job. They told me they though every company here is the same. It was my mistake to tell them how they should do, I was fired not long after that. The reason they gave was "not suitable for this environment". I was willing to leave without hesitating. I was so happy after leaving the job. Thank to them, my next company was a dream job!!!

Switched-On Response

I am sorry your short time at switched-on was not a happy one. Some times people and companies are just not a good fit, and we try to learn from our mistakes. Let me respond to your review. We have a mix of senior, mid weight and junior developers, this is normal. If you were with us in 2017, I am sure your team leaders - who have been with us for more than 7 and 9 years respectively - would be a bit taken aback by the claim that you were the only senior. It is clear from your review that you are angry at being let go; clearly you were unhappy so it is a good thing you left and found your dream job. Since 2017 we have taken on an entirely new recruiting and onboarding process which takes into account cultural and social differences as well as a range of qualitative and quantitive measure for determining if we can serve our candidates and their suitability to our environment. Our job ads and recruitment process would have informed you that we allow dogs in the office. Please feel free to email me about your grievances with the CEO and your other claims via our website.switched-on group does not lie to clients and our software is a critical factor to our clients success. Again, I am glad you found your dream job. Best of luck!

Pros

The business showed consistently a drive to improve, both regarding SOPs and its managing of staff members. Have nothing but positive experiences to share having worked there for 2 years.

Cons

Would be the same that most companies have, nothing specific to this business.
