Entire company - Anonymous employee Unix Surplus Employee Review

At some point in your career, you realize that technical skills and experience can only take you so far. What truly makes a difference is the space to think creatively and the trust to act on your ideas. That’s exactly what I found here. This is a place where creativity isn’t just welcomed; it’s expected. You’re encouraged to bring new ideas to the table, challenge the norm, and find better ways to solve problems. But it’s not just about brainstorming; it’s about execution too. When you're given real responsibility, your work feels meaningful. You’re trusted to own projects, make decisions, and learn through doing. That kind of trust pushes you to grow. It’s empowering, and honestly, it’s rare. The culture here values both innovation and follow-through, two things that go hand in hand if you really want to make an impact. If you're at a point in your career where you're ready to take ownership and let your ideas drive results, this is the kind of environment that will help you thrive. Pros: -Creative freedom and support for new ideas -High level of trust and autonomy -Strong sense of ownership and accountability -Opportunities to grow through hands-on experience -Collaborative and forward-thinking team culture -Culture for the coachable

The high level of autonomy can be challenging for those who prefer more structure or step-by-step guidance. This is definitely a place where you need to be self-motivated and comfortable taking initiative. Expectations are high, and while that's part of what makes the environment exciting, it can also feel intense at times. The fast-paced, change-oriented nature of the work means things can shift quickly, which might not suit everyone. If you're not ready to own your outcomes and push through ambiguity, it might feel overwhelming for you, and to much pressure for comfort. Cons: -The level of autonomy might feel overwhelming if you're used to more structured environments -Fast-paced and change-driven, which may not suit everyone -Success often depends on self-motivation and initiative — not a place for hand-holding -Expectations can be high when it comes to delivering on your ideas

Pay and holidays were nice.

Not the best working conditions.
