Best place I've worked at! - Engineer MetaBroadcast Employee Review

- Fantastic staff - Team days out with said fantastic staff - Snacks all over the place - Opportunity to work on interesting projects for some high-profile clients - Longer-term staff have the opportunity to switch to part-time work - Flexible working hours (although definite stigma attached to leaving too early / not working overtime) - 'Family' atmosphere (less of a positive for me, but may be a plus for some)

Real issues - Inflexible attitude to even very small matters (where people eat lunch on a Friday, whether a light is turned on or off). This felt more than a little fussy and oppressive. - Cultural and procedural issues swept under the carpet. In fairness, it seemed there was real intent to address some of the procedural ones. - The two cofounders were very difficult to work with on a bad day. - I witnessed professional adults being treated like children (spoken to in a patronising and sometimes aggressive tone of voice). Apologies were forthcoming on the rare occasion, however I found the whole dramatic process unnecessary and unacceptable. Niggles - Obligated to participate in all manner of team-bonding commitments and activities (you'll spot them as they're all prefixed with 'Meta') - when all you really want to do is get your work done and go home to your real life(!) - Far too many Slack channels!

You get to crack tough, serious issues and work with big broadcasters. There's cutting-edge software and mates are nuts (read awesome!). Also cool treats: coca cola, tea, coffee, fruit, cake, beer, Friday lunch. Great days away and even bubbly at times!!!

You get shares on top of salary, so there's a bit more pressure than in other jobs to make sure the company does well
