You deserve better

Pros

Some of the people there are actually competent, want to succeed, and have fun at the same time. They’re desperate to hire people, so new hires can hopefully negotiate a higher salary (go for 20% more than they offer!)

Cons

Management is so out of touch. Terrible pay and they make you think that you don’t deserve any more than what they have to offer. I didn’t get offered a promotion until I put in my two weeks and suddenly there was a title and money on the table — same old, crappy corporate strategy — get the most out of you for the least amount of money.

I love the place but the salary isn’t great.

Business Outlook

Pros

I love working with the people and the work life balance is good. I feel like I’ve really learnt since being here. Plenty of project variety too.

Cons

Wage gap. I make significantly less than others in the same role and the inflation pay rises aren’t actually enough to cover recent inflation so I now struggle for money more now than when I started.
