Tribal Group Reviews

Current Employee – been working at Tribal Group full-time for more than a year

Pros – Helpful and friendly people (mostly anyway)
Global contracts with high potential
Flexible working hours
Attempting some agile methods
Office newly refurbed
Free tea and coffee

Cons – Software is dated
Although there are a few good developers, innovation is stifled by those in charge.
Very much a software hacking company with few industry standard patterns or methods used. It's all about bolting on some new half baked features and shoving it out the door.
Lip service is as much attention as testing is given.
Senior devs fear change due to their lack of knowledge and experience outside of tribal.
They need to drag themselves into this decade and put more focus around quality.
Management are very inexperienced and run around like headless chickens (literally)
Much more agile methods are needed around the software development if they are to sell themselves as "agile", it's more than just two week iterations and a daily stand up.

Advice to Senior Management – Encourage new ideas, there are developers with good experience on the floor.
Learn more about the software development cycle.
Place more emphasis on quality and a little less on new half cooked features.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Former Employee – worked at Tribal Group

Pros – Colleagues were welcoming, supportive and always willing to give advice to projects, even if not personally invovled.

Cons – Unfortunately the Company has gone through many changes over the past few years, leading to dissatisfaction, unease and unrest amongst employees. Communication from the top down was poor, suggestive of a sentiment that the employees were merely commodities to be traded for the best possible share yield.

Advice to Senior Management – Decide on your plan and stick to it; don't keep changing the goalposts for people.

Advice to Senior Management – Start to value your employees

Current Employee – been working at Tribal Group

Pros – There are opportunities to work in different areas of the UK and abroad- not that I have looked into it. Large organisation with different areas of expertise. People come from a variety of backgrounds. Within the organisation there are different sectors that you can work in.

Cons – Not that much integration between departments. Not always kept in the loop. Management could handle employees in a better manner, giving feedback throughout projects and manage issues in a better manner.

Advice to Senior Management – Keep employees up to date with what is going on in the company.
