Pluspunten

You’ll develop resilience and self-sufficiency fast. If you’re proactive, you can get yourself up to speed and become a valuable team member…just don’t expect the company to help you get there.

Minpunten

The culture is toxic. There’s a clear “in crowd” mentality, and if you’re not part of it, senior figures will work to push you out rather than develop you. I witnessed this happen to multiple colleagues across departments. Onboarding is essentially non-existent. I had no training plan, no structure, and it was well over a month before I had my first formal 1:1 with my manager. You’re expected to self-teach using call recordings and put in significant hours outside of work to meet expectations. The role is marketed as “remote with occasional travel” however in practice, travel can consume the majority of your working week across the UK and Ireland, often with little notice and questionable necessity. Work-life boundaries are not respected. Messages on personal phones outside contracted hours are common, with expectations to join meetings before your working day officially begins. People management is seriously lacking at multiple levels. My direct line manager had clearly never managed anyone before, and it showed in every interaction. There was no structure, no development conversations, and no real support, but beyond the mechanics of management, the interpersonal skills simply weren’t there either. Day-to-day communication was awkward and uncomfortable, and any attempt to build a normal working relationship fell flat. It’s a familiar story…someone promoted for technical ability who has neither the temperament nor the training to lead people. The role requires commercial awareness and emotional intelligence, there was very little evidence of either. Dismissals appear to happen without proper process, no verbal or written warnings, no clear reasoning given to the individual. “Performance issues” is a catch-all phrase used without any substantiation. I saw this happen to good people who were hitting their activity targets and performing. There are also real concerns around how customer data is handled internally, specifically the use of third-party AI tools for processing sensitive information, which feels like a compliance risk. The majority of employees are inputting sensitive customer data attained from discovery calls into AI tools every day, putting the data at serious risk. The all-hands culture feels performative and mandatory rather than genuinely engaging.

Pluspunten

De marktkansen zijn reëel en er zijn echt getalenteerde mensen in de branche die er alles aan doen om er een succes van te maken. Als je genoeg ervaring hebt om zelfstandig te werken, kun je deals sluiten; het product heeft potentie.

Minpunten

Voor een bedrijf dat zich richt op omzet, is de commerciële infrastructuur opvallend onvolwassen. Er is geen samenhangende verkoopmethodologie, geen consistent kwalificatiekader en de evaluaties van de verkooppijplijn zijn op zijn best oppervlakkig. Niemand boven je stelt de juiste vragen, waardoor slechte deals te lang in de prognose blijven staan en goede deals niet de nodige ondersteuning krijgen. Gebieds- en accountplanning is er niet. Je krijgt een gebied toegewezen en er wordt van je verwacht dat je daarin werkt zonder strategische input, marktanalyse of richtlijnen over waar je prioriteit aan moet geven. Voor een bedrijf dat praat over groei, is er nauwelijks nagedacht over hoe die groei daadwerkelijk tot stand moet komen. Reizen is een significant probleem vanuit het oogpunt van commerciële efficiëntie. Je kunt meerdere dagen per week verliezen aan reizen die slecht gepland zijn, vaak onnodig en zelden effectief worden opgevolgd. De kosten-batenverhouding van sommige van deze bezoeken zou elke fatsoenlijke CFO doen huiveren. Het management praat wel over de verkooppijplijn, maar heeft er geen echte grip op. Prognosegesprekken missen diepgang, er vindt geen dealcoaching plaats en er is geen cultuur van eerlijke kwalificatie. Deals worden in de hiërarchie snel goedgekeurd en het bedrijf neemt beslissingen over middelen en inkomsten op basis van fictie. De beloningsstructuur is niet transparant. Het kost meer moeite dan nodig om te begrijpen waar je recht op hebt en wanneer je betaald krijgt, en ik ben niet de enige die discrepanties heeft ervaren.

Working from home options available

Minpunten

The positive reviews do not reflect the reality experienced by many employees, and the gap between perception and day to day working conditions is significant. The work environment is unsustainable and built around constant pressure. There is a deeply ingrained culture of overwork, where 12+ hour days are the norm rather than the exception. Failing to meet these expectations puts you at a clear disadvantage and can impact your job security. At the same time, employees who push themselves beyond reasonable limits are publicly praised in weekly all hands meetings. This normalises and reinforces burnout as part of the job. Management relies heavily on micromanagement, with little evidence of trust in employees. Work is closely tracked and scrutinised, creating a persistent sense of being watched. This adds unnecessary stress and makes it difficult to work effectively or feel confident in your role. Job security is extremely limited. Employees can be let go with little to no warning and often without clear or actionable feedback beforehand. This creates an environment where people feel expendable and uncertain about their future. The termination process is particularly unsettling. Meetings can be added to your calendar without context, only for HR to join and inform you that your role is being terminated. The lack of transparency makes the experience feel abrupt and impersonal. I would strongly recommend being cautious before accepting a role here, as the expectations make it difficult to maintain a healthy work life balance.
