INRIX Reviews

I have been working for Inrix UK Birmingham office for nearly two years and my observation is as follows: 1) Very poor management style - The first question in my interview is "What would you do if you can't come to work?" 2) Don't be mislead by the new job title "Data Journalist" where in fact you are a screen observer. This is a very basic job with no skills whatsoever, and all what you will be doing is just starring at screens watching whats happening. 3) You will get paid just very little above the minimum wage with no career progression, no pay rise and no robust training. Moreover, you will have to learn a lot (10 times what you need to learn at McDonalds) only to get minimum wage. 4) Managers cut Xmas food order to save money by assuming only handful number of staff will be working during this week. 5) Very dirty computers and chairs. 6) Employees are scared to talk in a similar environment like North Korea

There's always a difference between what a job's advertised as and what it's really like but I've never known such a gap as here. For a start you're not a journalist - you type in key words that get autofilled. That's not journalism, it's data entry. The supposed flexible work arrangements mean you work when they tell you to and four hour shifts mean it's hardly worth going in, especially for the low pay. Training is sparse then you get told off when you do something wrong. Working from home is only for those whose face fits and have access to an unreasonable amount of private tech. The much-vaunted free food is typical unhealthy student fare - pot noodles, cereals, cheap juice . The work is intense and the pay barely above minimum wage. Nobody wears masks, there's no hand sanitiser. And during the course of the day you will hear nobody talking, nobody so much as smiling. A strange, unpleasant place to work.
