      Pros

      - Work from home and enjoyed the flexibility the job gave in this aspect

      Cons

      - Micromanaging managers flew under the radar and got away with outright bullying and belittling. -3 restructures in 2 years, SL salaries have been inflated meanwhile budget cuts have been given in every other avenue of the organisation. No formal upskilling opportunities or career growth - Employees that are left are overworked & under-appreciated, with more and more work to do despite the workforce getting smaller -SL were pushing people to be promoted for months, then those same people were made redundant out of the blue (whole teams were disbanded). Very shady and manipulative. -Minimal moral and functional support from SL when departments were going through a difficult time -People being laid off in finance with no apparent reason, v sketch. -Employees are not happy across the board and team morale has been destroyed with no effort to amend this. Customer feedback is not taken on board the product, too much focus on UK and US markets yet claim to be a ‘global’ product.

      BridgeU Response
      1y
      Thank you for your review. I’ve just taken over as CEO of BridgeU, and I’d like to respond to a few of these concerns. I’m sorry to hear that you didn’t have a wholly enjoyable experience at BridgeU. I can see that some of your concerns raised are quite specific to a recent restructure, which is never a nice process to go through however fairly the company aims to run these. So firstly, I’m sorry that this has impacted your overall experience at BridgeU and let me take the opportunity to wish you the best for your future. I’d like to address your point about a belittling manager. I haven’t heard this language used before at BridgeU but we take a zero tolerance approach to any kind of bullying and harassment. We usually score very highly on manager support and satisfaction in all employee surveys. While I’m surprised to read this, it’s important that we don’t leave this unchecked and if you’d like to discuss this further, please don’t hesitate to get in touch directly with either me or our People team. As I’ve said to the rest of the BridgeU team, listening to team members’ concerns and ensuring that BridgeU is a great place to work is a top priority for me. If you’d like to share anything further, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us directly. I wish you all the best. Patrick Whitfield CEO

      Pros

      In its current guise, nothing.

      Cons

      During my time at BridgeU I have seen: - Most senior technical staff leave, averaging 1 per month. - Leadership U-turns are a regular occurrence. - A team sore from redundancies only to be met with more redundancies the next year. - A legacy application where trying to make any kind of change feels like herding cats. - An acquisition where most of what remained of the tech team was laid off despite reassurances that there would be long term engineering effort in the UK. On the acquisition... upon announcement we were informed that a strategic review was underway. This is code for "We're making redundancies". Our first meeting with the new CEO was a spectacle where he bragged about his business acumen. Shared how he had declined to buy a Ferrari so he could buy BU and complained that most of his new minions had their cameras off. Additionally, the current CEO spent 5 minutes sucking up to his new boss about how great the acquisition process was, especially since the new boss had just had a baby. Those of us who were worried about feeding our own children didn't appreciate it. Due to the political situation in the US and the recent announcements regarding immigration in the UK, this business probably has a limited lifespan. To my former colleagues in all areas of the business, get out as soon as you can.

      Pros

      Amazing culture, considerate, inclusive, kind, everything I thought didn't exist anymore in the corporate world.

      Cons

      Just a bad product with a lack of innovation due to limited funds I believe. I think the company was actually bought out after I left as it was really struggling. A shame as such brilliant people within the team.
