Pluspunten

Business seems to be improving. More opportunities have been created with outsourcing. I was promoted to an engineering manager after waiting almost two years so was good for me. Some of the older people who have been at Very for a long time have been very negative. With the outsourcing that has changed with more positive people being promoted into roles as those people have left. Benefits are pretty good. Able to buy holidays and flexible benefits has a good selection. Tech Leadership seem to genuinely care and I feel supported. There is more transparency about things happening and about the business from the CTO. Getting to work on some newer things whereas in the past I was stuck in one place.

Minpunten

So much work and expectation from the business leadership team without the appreciation to the tech team. Lots of pressure to deliver. Salaries not in line with other companies. Still low in comparison. Working in the office is now mandatory for a few days of the week. Would like the option to work at home fully sometimes. Appreciation of Tech doesn’t seems to come from the senior leadership team of the business. Communications are always about the latest adverts and marketing teams.

Hi there, we don't have any colleagues (including freelance) based in the US. Therefore we think you've left this review here in error.
