Pros

Some nice people to work with

Cons

If you live a commutable distance from St Albans and want to avoid working in London add one point. If you fancy the occasional trip to the command centre in Paris(who doesn't like freshly baked baguettes?), add one point. If you think that doing your job is not enough and a pay rise in line with inflation is only deserved by the top performers in the company, add a point. If you like pretending you are working agile when you are not, that's another point. If you can turn a blind eye to a culture of blame, you can add a point for that too. If you like working with distributed teams but you prefer not to meet your team in person, add one point. If you the carrot and stick style of management, that is worth 2 points. If your total is 10 or more then Trace One is a great place for you to work.

Dear Colleague, Thank you for taking the time to give your opinion. We sincerely sorry that your experience at Trace One did not go as we would have liked, and we will not fail to pass on your testimony to our teams. Our teams work in a pleasant environment in St. Albans nearby the station. Our office offers convivial spaces and we regularly organize corporate events to strengthen team cohesion. Our employees benefit from a working from home policy to avoid commuting and to have a god private/professional life balance. Our Engineering teams work in squads following the Spotify model and we use the latest technologies openAPI's, REACT, lastest version of C#. As for salary packages we rely on benchmarks to ensure our compensation is competitive against market. We therefore reiterate our sincere regrets about your experience, but we can assure you that this is an isolated case, and we will ensure that it remains so.

Pros

Work/life balance, some friendly colleagues, decent amount of autonomy depending on which team you're on, little to no accountability

Cons

Incompetent leadership actively making decisions that hurt the business, an extremely outdated product and high customer churn. PE owned with little profit left to extract coupled with unrealistic goals based on minimal budget. Serious lack of HR support (especially in US) for everything from benefits to tax requirements, no real career path or advancement opportunities (even promotions come with less than 5% or no raise), obsession with hierarchy, painfully slow and inefficient internal processes, lots of dead weight because it's very difficult to fire people in Europe. This company is a joke. RUN don't walk away from them.
