Thank you for your review. I would love to have a conversation with you in person to chat through the cons you have mentioned. In the meantime, I would like to address some of the points made. We love our new offices in Parkwest which were designed to cater for the projected growth over the next few years. We are also incredibly proud of all of our team and we want to support them in becoming the best version of themselves. We actively encourage continuous professional development and access to learning platforms and funding for training to all of the team. In relation to pay rises, it would be unusual for an employee to have a salary change within the first 12 months of their tenure in any company. We actively review our salary bands and recently conducted a benchmarking exercise against our competitors to ensure that we are aligned to the market rate. We also review individual salaries annually or when they are being promoted or transferring internally.

Pros

It's a job and I have debt...

Cons

Claim to be human focused yet.... 3 paid sick days only per year. No pension scheme. No health insurance. No paid maternity/paternity leave. Below industry average salaries. No pay structure for title. Same title/postion starting on different salaries. Sales staff treated better than support staff. Sink or swim environment. No effort/structure into training employees once hired.

Pros

Good first position when working in I.T.. Will help you add a couple of lines to your C.V.. Other technical staff are great to work with and will always help you out. Very pretty new office.

Cons

If you show any aptitude they will try to get you to expand your responsibilities with no change to contract or compensation. Few opportunities to progress within the technical departments. The org chart narrows sharply above level 2. Management is willfully ignorant of skill to salary ratio in the current labour market. Left this job for a massive increase to do LESS of the same work. Massive "brain-drain" recently with multiple senior technical staff moving on to better things.

Thank you for your positive comments and the pro's you called out above, we really appreciate it as it helps us to grow. Our records show that we haven't had any leavers with a tenure of more than 5 years, which adds some confusion as to the legitimacy of this review. Notwithstanding that, we are happy to respond to the points raised. We have promoted 35 people internally this year. All packages are benchmarked against industry standards. We have an average ratio of 1 to 8 per manager. 90 new employees joined Nostra in 2022 alone and our new team members further enhance the amazing team we already have. We respect people come and go to align with their own career aspirations, we are very happy that everyone who leaves Nostra will leave as more skilled person than when they joined and we celebrate the growth of our team both professionally and personally. Our growth strategy is both through organic growth and through acquistions and we are very proud of our new state of the art office which was designed to create a world class working environment for our ever growing team.
