Pros

The CEO and the other co-founders have a great vision Lots of events and happening culture , team looks energetic from outside Fast moving Teams , team members are high performers Great Office Locations and Flexibility One of the best products in the market in its category

Cons

Micromanagement by middle level managers . Supervisor can be bossy and try to showcase that they've been there for longer than you. Not focusing on the process efficiency as long as you can pump out more work by working anyhow and checking more boxes. Don't care even if you leave, the middle management is quite causal about people leaving jobs. If you speak up about something and the Team Leader doesn't like it you may get in trouble/lose the job anytime irrespective of the merit of your argument.

Thank you for your feedback and your contribution during your time at JobAdder. I can assure you that middle and senior management care deeply about our people and the recent changes as a result of COVID-19 were extremely difficult but necessary. We wish you all the best for the next step in your career.

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.
