iTech Media London, UK Reviews

Pros

There are lots of opportunities here to do new things, do work you are passionate about and make a difference. You are encouraged to bring ideas and think big, there is little in the way of red tape to get in the way of delivery. The people are great and want to see each other do well. Lovely culture of positive recognition, being able to show up as you are, relatively flat structure, few egos. The pace can be quick, but the rewards are fantastic. Full autonomy to work your way, but with a gorgeous office to collaborate in, no pressure to be in the office certain days- but nice treats if you choose to! Strong values, mentioned and lived everyday. Making huge efforts on belonging- a lot of strong ERGs that are employee led.

Cons

Like any scale up, there are issues as the business matures. Hard to know sometimes who does make the decisions, change is demanded, but can equally be resisted. Lack of commerciality in many people there.

Pros

Nice office and snacks were always good.

Cons

Culture is if you don’t get on with the COO or CEO, you’re our. If you don’t fit the right mould, you’re out. The amount of people who fail probation is incredible. Find an ex employee and talk to them first before accepting a job

Pros

Benefits are top notch and you will get to work with friendly people. Freedom to suggest new technologies, when there is time to work on POCs. Training days.

Cons

Racism in the company is not taken seriously unfortunately, despite diversity being prompted. When reported, only a written is sent. Being an extrovert and social, as an engineer can get you promoted/recognised over people who work harder and perform the technical work. Some engineers get hired at a lot higher level than they are and it is obvious from a 3-6 month performance review. So there is an obvious flaw in the hiring system or the engineer leveling here is at a lower standard compared with other tech companies. Transparency in pay.

Pros

The people, the culture, the open and collaborative approach BY ALL (from every department and specialism), their generosity, the management team, et al, their desire for growth and expansion. Whatever you need to make your time at iTech be the best it can be, they will listen and support you in every way. Do you need to have a chat with the senior management about anything? Send them a direct message, and they will respond within minutes, or go directly up to them and will listen and support you. Unlike other companies, where you're a number on their roster, at iTech, you're a colleague first and foremost and an integral part of the companies vision and ambition. I can wholeheartedly say that it's the best company, environment, with the BEST people/colleagues/friends I have ever had the pleasure to work, learn and collaborate with. You're encouraged to 'work your way', and they mean it. I've worked in my fair share of organisations that claim to be "open, friendly and collaborative", but they need to take a leaf out of iTech's playbook.

Cons

[Glassdoor won't let me leave this blank] so if I HAD to nitpick, it would be around the hurdles (that any ambitious/hyper-growth company has or experiences), of expansion and hiring at speed, but they are working on it, constantly.

Pros

A culture of genuine care and inclusivity from top to bottom. People are lovely, tons of great initiatives to make things even better, founders genuinely listen and put their money where there mouth is.

Cons

If you prefer a predictable environment where things don’t change, it’s not for you.
