Pros

I've been with Improbable for 18 months now and I've found it a fantastic place to work. After being involved in a number of startups over the years, I've never seen it done better in terms of culture, managing growth and overall focus, particularly within the Enterprise division. The energy in the room something I look forward to every day I come into the office.

Advice to Management

Don't chase profit and keep awesome engineering and innovation at the heart of what the Enterprise division does.

Pros

Working in the Enterprise Business Unit, this is a very exciting and faced paced place to be. The team are engaged in exciting projects, building technology from the ground up for prolific and varied clients.

The team is small, very friendly and sociable. Despite the pressures that can come from working on new projects, the style of working is relaxed and creative, following the traditional working methods of software development. This is definately a place to stretch yourself professionally - joining the team in business development, I am now also a scrum master!

Opinions are valued here, and with one of our core values being humility, everyone is expected to challenge the status quo and all opinions matter equally.

There are also fantastic benefits - from being able to bring your dog to work, free lunches and snacks, unlimited holiday, fun monthly socials, family benefits and flexible working.

Pros

Food is nice and there is great talent in some departments. Pay is above average for London.

Advice to Management

Stop with the knee-jerk reactions. Embrace a more open culture, more grounded strategy. Don't ignore the weaknesses of Spatial OS and believe you can do it all. Rethink who you retain in management. Bring people who actually have experience.
