Pros

Trying to maintain a friendly culture and provide a good service. Trying to catch up to competition with better customer service.

Cons

UK team always waiting around for Australian team say so. Australia team have everything sorted but some parts of UK are several steps away from decisions that aren’t ever/effectively communicated through team managers. Some team managers definitely don’t want to manage people and are not shy about telling their team, makes people feel unwanted and looking for support elsewhere. So many Slack channels it’s hard to keep track of which one to go to for information and several are made up of exactly the same people. More systems to learn and use daily than you can count on one hand. Two different finance systems ?? Why?? And one is awful. Absolutely no foresight of operational organisation even with the impressively experience leadership team, so there are often sudden scrambles to sort out something that should have been a small issue months ago or not at all. UK team doesn’t have monthly or weekly meetings, so all relationship support is down to the individual to make and maintain, let alone find out what the rest of the team is doing. One on one meetings are arranged, rearranged and cancelled with little or no notice to the individual.

Pros

Small enough team that people mostly got along. Base salary was not bad.

Cons

Very limited voice. Constant fear of being fired due to how management would interact with you. They did not fully understand who did what in the team. Did not show equal appreciation to all parties involved in releasing a quality product. Alcohol consumption was very encouraged. You would be shamed if you did not drink. Strict 8:30 - 5:30 work day. I am fine with the length of the work day but flexibility of start and end time would have been nice. Benefits were lacking in quality and quantity. That would be fine if the company gave a plus elsewhere such as schedule but it did not.

Thanks for your review. You are right in that cultures can vary from office to office, so we have worked hard to ensure everyone at JA understands our core company culture. This includes all employees coming to Sydney at least once a year to get to know the whole team. In the year since you were there a lot has changed and we are extremely happy with the team we have in the US now. Thanks again for your input and all the best.
