      Great place to work!

      Pros

      I love it here, very friendly, everyone is easy to talk to. I've also made some great friends here. There's a culture of transparency, business stats and metrics are shared openly and anyone can ask questions or suggest ways to move the needle on KPIs.

      Cons

      Startup life can be tough - there aren't big departments to do things for you. This is a place to work if you're happy getting stuck into things that are outside your comfort zone.

      Pros

      Good company values that clearly come through, lots of support for learning new skills, willingness to innovate and try new things. The other engineers are very supportive of each other too.

      Cons

      Growing really fast so some areas are underdeveloped but this is to be expected in a young company.

      Could not in good conscience recommend working here

      Marketing team member

      Business outlook

      Pros

      I worked with some amazing and talented people at Popsa who I hope to remain in touch with for a long time to come.

      Cons

      I could not in good conscience recommend that anyone take a job here. Popsa has a top-down problem, where there is micro-management from the C-Suite to the point that staff are incentivised to cater to the personal tastes of the C-Suite instead of having professional integrity. This also results in a lack of long term strategy, and thus constant pivots to attain short-term goals (both financial and otherwise), whist ignoring and overruling the expertise of the staff who are professionals in their respective fields. There was also increasing pressure for us to come into the office on more days than originally contracted, and the unspoken expectation of answering slack messages on weekends and late into the weeknights. Most importantly, there was a very unsettling trend of very few people seeming to pass their probation, and various team members disappearing suddenly, mysteriously and regularly.

      We appreciate this feedback. Thank you for leaving it. We’re still a start-up, we sometimes have to react quicker than a more-established company might, but we don't ignore opinions and we don't ask anyone to do anything that would compromise their integrity. We maintain a long-standing policy of working from the office at least 3 days a week, except during peak when it’s 4. The Christmas period is critical for any e-commerce business like ours, and occasionally some people have to respond to an off-hours message. We’re an international business with customers across many time zones all over the world. Occasionally, if there’s a problem to solve, we might need to respond but we respect people’s down time. The flexible structure of a start-up can sometimes feel fast paced, and it’s not for everyone. Sometimes, for the overall good of the business, we need to part with really talented people; that’s never a decision we make lightly. We’re confident that overall this is a warm, accommodating and exciting place to work. The people here are highly respected, and both expected and enabled to do great things, which many other reviews here help attest to.
