Pluspunten

Some really fantastic people - smart, kind & full of energy.

Minpunten

A recent leadership and board hire, from a well known multinational, has brought a tidal wave of politics, destroyed the culture, and has left people disillusioned and untrusting of him and the business. Sadly, he does not treat employees with any respect or time, and relies on regular company-wide slack messages to 'inspire' and 'uplift.' It's not what leadership looks like, and Superscript is no longer a nice place to work. It's amazing how much negative impact one person can have. A lot of people will be leaving soon, and I'd really urge people interviewing for roles at Superscript to do their due diligence on whether Superscript has the leadership or financial strength

- Superscript provides high levels of autonomous work and good career prospects. - A very sociable company with plenty of focus on wellbeing and mental health - The EXCo at Superscript deeply care about the success of the business - Superscript actively seeks feedback from their employees on how to improve and actually action this feedback

Minpunten

- Growing pains are reasonably common for a company the size of Superscript. - Technical challenges are often not completely understood. - Workload expectations are ambitious in relation to headcount, especially given the complexity of systems and interdependent processes. - Can be tricky to find a free desk on busy days in the office.

I held off on posting a review while the company went through some big changes, but things still aren’t great for regular employees. Heads-up if you’re thinking about working here: - The CEO, CFO, and a co-founder all got replaced recently, which shook things up a lot. - The company’s staying alive on investor cash and has about a year to start making money. - They just laid off around 15 people in another round of cuts. - No pay raises, but they expect you to keep stepping up your game. - The new CEO’s all about business and not so much about people. If you ask questions, you might get told to just quit if you’re not happy. - Diversity’s taken a hit. More than half of the people let go were PoC, even though they’re a smaller part of the company. The execs say they care about diversity, but you wouldn’t know it looking at the team. - Morale’s super low, and people are leaving left and right. They try to be open, but get defensive when you ask stuff. - It’s a high-stress vibe, and they’ve cut most of the fun social stuff. It’s not got the startup energy or the cash and stability of a big company.
