Zopa Reviews

Managers have unrealistic expectations over AI, pushing people to work overtime. Rigid return-to-work policy, ignoring the fact some people live far away and two days in office is unfeasible. The lack of flexibility has caused discrimination to some people, they are totally aware but don't care. There have been cases people raised legal cases but most people don't want to waste time on this. The company will cold treat employees when there is conflict of interest (return to office, for example). It's kind of common for them, so if they do this to you, remember it's their fault. The company try to create a diverse and welcoming image to the public, by participating things like code first girls, which is a huge contrast to how they actually treat their staff, don't be fooled.

Despite the energy the company feels a bit directionless. There's a vague goal of "home of money" but that doesn't really connect with me in terms of actual direction for the company. The company is moving towards AWS with typescript but still focusing on hiring Kotlin developers, but we don't really have TS developers who could do the interviewing. There's a big push to AWS serverless but people are confused when you say you're adopting it?
