Pluspunten

Competitive salaries and benefits. Option to work from aboard for a few weeks each year. Great product, many dedicated and extremely smart employees who are focused on doing what is right for the business. Efforts are being made to improve performance management and L&D

Minpunten

The launch of the latest iteration of the company strategy has coincided with an increasing amount of control and micro-management from the top, particularly by the CRO. Simple decisions can no longer be made without approval from the most senior executives to the extent that it is impeding our ability to work effectively.

We’re keen to make Thought Machine a place where our people can make decisions swiftly, and be effective, without unnecessary bureaucracy or sign-off. If you still feel as though you are ineffective, or have a difficult relationship with an individual in the company, you can speak directly to the HR team, or through your HR Business Partner, and they would welcome the conversation to see if there are ways to resolve or improve the situation.

Pluspunten

My manager and team were awesome, the culture is friendly but that's the main bright spot here.

Minpunten

The C-suite's recruitment strategy in expanding the team across the US, North, and South America seemed promising at first. However, they ended up letting many of us go right before the one-year mark, despite the inherent complexities of our product and sales efforts. The deal maturity and sales cycle are notably long, especially when dealing with core product replacements in the banking industry, which are time-consuming, expensive, and complex due to the transition from legacy systems to modernized cloud architecture. While several factors have contributed to the company's situation, it's important to note that the company is well-funded. At the beginning of the year, we were assured that there was enough cash in the bank to sustain us for a few years. However, we were recently informed that our investors are dissatisfied and want their money back. Many of us were actively engaged in our roles, supporting key commercial team reps who were driving significant momentum headed into 2024. It is indeed unprofessional and unjust to lead us to this point and then abruptly let us go. What truly exacerbated the situation was the timing of these layoffs, just days before our shares vested. This is not only unethical but also contradictory to the company's stated values and work policies. The actions of the leadership have eroded trust, and it's advisable to exercise caution and consider other options.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. The decision to let go of team members is always challenging, and we acknowledge the personal impact this has had on you. Looking ahead to the new year, we're pleased to confirm strong investor support and positive company performance. With our organisational structure now in place, there are no further plans for headcount reductions. We are pleased to hear that you found the company environment friendly and that you had a positive experience with your supportive manager, as we believe our company culture is one of our greatest assets.
