A perfect haven for those into self-harm

Pros

There are some oddly positive reviews here. I can only liken this to the fact that some people like stilettos being stamped on their balls - Sitecore is the workplace equivalent of that. If you are into self-harm and mental torture, then Sitecore is where its at. All I can think is that most of the previous positive reviewers must be into some weird stuff....or are on the management team.

Cons

All of it, but mostly working hard for other people to get rich and treat you like dirt in return. If you have some self esteem problems you want to fully "leverage" than come on over here! Sitecore will be the perfect company for you to work at. You'll be treated to 5-star poor management, a total disregard for you as a person, no thanks, no rewards, and to repay you for all your efforts in contributing to another stonking year of growth you will be rewarded with a badly managed redundancy. Magic!

Pros

Food in the kitchen, flexible working, decent salary , decent product, growth opportunities if you are lucky - they need to replace all the people they fire afterall

Cons

Management plays games, they don't tell you anything and in some cases, they lie. Too much emphasis on revenue, less emphasis on customer care. London team has NO account managers, the only time Sitecore UK will contact their UK customers is when they want to upsell or cross sell another product. Hire and Fire culture means only 3 people in the sales org have been there for more than 3 years. This means the company's history is on its way to being forgotten. Do they have a HR team? There is an office with the words HR emblazoned on it, but I am not sure what they do. I suspect that there is a rush towards some sort of acquisition or IPO, because the way management obsesses over revenue is unhealthy, almost desperate. American C-level execs dictate how the UK should be run.. you can imagine the disaster. Management desires a conflict environment, they are happy to sit back and create a setting that forces teams to compete against each other even when it's unhealthy. Sink or swim approach, the training is appalling. The biggest irony is this - a company that sells software aimed at eradicating silos cannot seem to eradicate its own internal silos. Once upon a time, the company had cultures and values, but there has been so many changes, so many firings that they don't have a sense of value anymore. It has become an amalgamation of Oracle, Adobe and American sales values. They hire new VP's every day, I have lost count on the amount of VPs and Directors recently hired.. I don't understand. I don't think Sitecore UK can go a full quarter without firing someone.

Pros

Good base salary and good office location

Cons

Hiring and Firing culture - poor hiring (don't think they have hired the cream of the crop from Adobe) and then firing not based on job performance Some of the senior leaders (VP level and above) are way out of their comfort zone, others are stuck in a time warp of 20 years ago, where simply by shouting at people, things could get done - not nowadays and that's borne out by the numbers and the amount of good people leaving......
