Pros

Flexible working arrangements (working from home) Health insurance

Cons

* As mentioned in another review, big salary compression. Company is paying premiums to attract new staff, but if you've been here for a while, your pay will likely have stagnated. For this reason, morale seems to have fallen off a cliff in the last 6 months. * Hints at opportunities for professional development, but little concrete. * Quite a few resignations over last year, worrying. * Management mention high proportion of new staff (something like 30% @ <1 year) as a positive, but the flipside of that is we are losing years of domain knowledge, which is also worrying.

Pros

- some interesting work - some flexible work arrangements - fruit and wine provided - the long-term employees are just like family

Cons

- heavy salary compression - no success metrics for new policies or senior management - senior management have been pushing out more experienced people in favour of fixed-term contractors - senior management believes that developers are interchangable - senior management change their business strategy as often as they change their underpants, and pour all the profit into failing departments, while under-resourcing the profitable ones.

Pros

Great place to work when I started there with clear pathway for progression. Team culture was great within the team that I worked with. Jade has / had a lot of great engineers and architects that are passionate about creating good solutions. Likewise a lot of other people within the organisation work hard to achieve great outcomes for their customers / products. Hybrid ways of working policy is good and so is the insurance cover (although apparently was better for people that have been there for ages) Within my department it was easy to talk to others when problems arose - technical or career related. My immediate managers within my work were amazing people and great to learn from. I did enjoy the time that I worked at Jade (despite the cons that I have listed below).

Cons

Main reason why I left and echoed by other comments here was lack of career progression. Was getting positive feedback across review rounds but no clear advise on how to move up. Strategic change in direction also didn't align with what I was wanting to do. Wage wasn't keeping up with inflation. Others with similar skill sets were leaving for similar roles with big pay bumps (conscious of the current NZ market, 'the great resignation' and huge demand for IT workers at the moment ). In relation to above, a role I believed I was filling in for was advertised for a substantial amount more than what I was on at that time, which lead to an awkward discussion. Since I have left there appears to have been a lot more people that have resigned (but once again could just be because of the current market)
