Pros

- Not many to mention.

Cons

I can only speak from my own experience, I do believe it depends on the team that you are put on when joining. However from my experience: - The worst management I have dealt with throughout my professional career. Borderline bullying employees. Complete lack of technical experience and understanding of processes. -Inappropriate remarks made to employees and total lack of respect towards them. - Expected to work unpaid overtime at the drop of a hat. No notice and no pay. - Personal phone number given to clients (without consent) who would ring at any hour. - Contacted out of hours on weekends and on personal leave. Expected to answer. - Painfully understaffed. Very high turnover. - Witnessed someone join the team and expected to lead a release to production a week later . - No appropriate training of Graduates.

Pros

Some projects flexible on hours and working from home ability

Cons

CPD promotion system is a farce, Salary completely tied to it, nobody truly knows whats required to climb the ranks, inconsistent managers make efforts to rise up the ladder a nightmare, as one manager will lay out X things to achieve for raise, but then you swap, and new manager doesn't agree with those X things and tells you to now do Y things instead and now the last 3-4 months of efforts were pointless and just free beneficial extra responsibility you undertook for the company with no reward for yourself. Brainwashing of Core Values, Many outdated clients / tech fearing lead to frustrating development conditions, Sales love to sell projects and don't care if its feasible. Recently branched out to India and many developer jobs are now positioned there.

Thank you for your review, We are pleased to see that you enjoyed our flexible working hours and working from home option. We are disappointed to hear that you would not recommend working here. To address a couple of your concerns, we have fair, transparent and well documented Career Path Development process, giving all of our employees the opportunity to grow their career with us. We encourage all of our employees to create a CPD plan and discuss regularly with their managers. To empower employees to progress through their career, our Pathways platform supports all employees in gaining the necessary skills and competencies to develop their career. We like to reward our employees for their efforts, particularly if they take on additional responsibilities, this is done through our quarterly Profit Share scheme. Our Core Values are central to everything we do at Version 1, as an example one is Customer First, our customer success managers will listen closely to the needs of our customers and will only sell projects that are feasible and achievable. To your final point, yes we do have two great locations in India, in Bangalore and Pune to support our growing business.
