Pros

There were some good people in different teams

Cons

Zero flexibility. Very high turnover. Advancement tied to personal connections and politics and not performance. You'll be burned out fast. Open dialogue discouraged. Asking questions were frowned upon. Psychological safety limited. Those seeking a transparent, merit-based and respectful workplace should consider this carefully before accepting a role.

Pros

Supportive culture where teams work closely together and management is approachable. Senior leadership stays connected to the teams which makes communication easy. There are good opportunities for career growth, with many senior roles having progressed from junior positions internally. The company also makes an effort with culture, regular “Final Friday” catch ups, team lunches and dinner, plus two big internal events each year including the annual briefing and a really well organised Christmas party. Recently birthday leave was introduced which is a nice touch.

Cons

Workloads can fluctuate depending on project timelines and deadlines.

Pros

Enjoyable and supportive team environment, very inclusive and diverse. Decode provided me with the tools and opportunities to grow my career into a management role. There’s a strong focus on training and employee development. The workplace culture is fun, with plenty of company events that bring everyone together.

Cons

As the company continues to grow, processes and structures are still evolving.
