Horrible for Software Developers - Software Developer Red Sift Employee Review

As an engineering-led organisation, everyone’s evidence-based inputs are valued here. Our employee churn figures among both developers and the wider team are well below industry averages so we are always surprised to hear such strong feelings. It is relevant to know that we parted with the employee in question just two months into probation because of performance issues. Specifically, the majority of management are parents of young children themselves. We take our team’s responsibility towards family extremely seriously and provide flexible working options according to those needs. We have also recently implemented quarterly company-wide NPS polling to gather feedback anonymously and regularly. ‘Peak’ hours at central London tube stations are by definition rather busy. Although we have no control over human flow patterns in the largest metropolitan area in Europe, we do offer flexible start times so that our team can avoid travelling at morning rush hour without having to wake up very early. More generally, we believe the slight discomfort we experience being occasionally squeezed on the tube is far outweighed by the mosaic of 9 delicious falafel options within a stone’s throw of our Soho HQ. Yum.
