Pros

Staff are, on the whole, very friendly and it is beautiful office location.

Cons

Employee training is pretty much non-existant. There is no HR department. The majority of management know each other from a previous job, and so the culture feels very 'us and them'. There's very little communication between management and the rest of the company. There's a terrible blame culture and people don't take responsibility for things that go wrong. Very few or no employee benefits.

Pros

Location in Richmond Some junior staff members behave professionally

Cons

DO NOT APPLY HERE! I have witnessed and experienced; nepotism and favouritism in the workplace, lack of professionalism by some managers and the lack of training given. I believe the employee responsible for managing staff and overseeing administration is biased and conspires against certain employees. Some members of staff are treated as if they’re not worthy enough resulting in high staff turnover. They tend to hire people they know they can mistreat rather than it being based on individual skill set, qualifications etc. Several current and past employees have shared the same experience as a result of working here.

Pros

Getting to work on very complicated infrastructure helps you develop best practices and implement root fixes

Cons

Almost everything, things are so poorly done and you're pushed towards keeping touch with the customer while not providing real fixes just to keep to SLAs, not to mention that 1st line issues bleed into 2nd line and with a non-existing t 3rd line, you're tasked to identify and fix very complicated issues that would take a lot of hours to fix due to unfamiliarity of the infrastructure, caused by lack of up-to-date documentation and a toxic team-culture that encourages back-stabbing so they can pass very rigorous probations, everyone in order to meet all targets has to work overtime in the service desk, paired with poor management and lack of accountability on their part and identifying the root cause of issues, they simply put everything on the service desk hiding behind documented and poorly created processes that can't be followed to a tea, with encouragement to deviate from the processes while punishing you when you do so. Honestly, it's the worst tech company I've worked for. Management took systems from large companies with a lot more resources and very structured systems and implemented in a very small company that doesn't have those resources, making everything extremely difficult to get done and without the support required to execute on these processes. Avoid at all costs.
