Pros

There is nothing very good about this company. Watch out for missed paychecks!!! QiO is a misleading company managed by desperate Owners looking to recoup their investment, but they never will get anything because the "product" does not work without massive and costly customisation that they wont admit is needed. Developers get stuck trying to meet all the unrealistic promises made to clients.

Cons

They dont always pay your salary, no bonuses, unrealistic timelines. Old and outdated tech stack.

QiO Technologies Response

Thank You for this feedback in October 2021. I am really sorry to hear that you clearly had a bad experience. 2020 and 2021 were particularly difficult years for everybody during the pandemic (including business Owners) and like many companies, we had to make some very difficult decisions. Our recruitment freeze during the pandemic did make things even tougher than usual for a relatively recent start-up as we continued to develop our products and deliver to customers with a comparatively small team. I am really sorry to hear about the issues you seem to have had with payroll - I've never heard of this ever happening for permanent employees (although I have seen this occasionally with subcontractors where late payment has occurred after an invoice query). We have a new CEO (Rajan Pandhare - linkedin.com/in/rpandhare) with an incredible background and we give all new candidates the opportunity to talk to Rajan before they make their final decision. Rajan has taken on-board all employee feedback, including the glassdoor reviews, and along with myself (Gary Chandler - linkedin.com/in/g4rych4ndler) has set about to improve the culture and working environment at QiO. Hopefully we will start to see the fruits of our labours in future reviews. On the "product" side of things, in December 2021, and then in April 2022, we introduced two major releases that added massive 'no-code' functionality to the "product". Now that we can recruit again after the pandemic, we have also created a dedicated "Customer Delivery" team who instantiate the product for our clients, ensuring that our developers can solely focus on continuing to develop product features. We are happy to show the ease of product use to any candidates during the interview process, to check our products & clients align with candidates expectations of the areas they would like to work in. Regards, Gary Chandler (CTO)

Pros

Uses leading edge technology to develop products. Atmosphere encourages and recognizes individual efforts and innovation. Management is engaged but not overly obtuse, allowing for the employee to complete tasks within defined timeframes. Excellent communication with ALL HANDS from executive management. Facebook style board so employees and managers can share experiences, pictures, etc. Company is cloud based and International. You can work with a person several time zones away from you during an overlap time. Excellent culture for such a small company.

Cons

Learning curve can be challenging but you will get up to speed fast.

Pros

Working from home, good benefits. Interesting projects.

Cons

The focus shift on the projects happens too often, even for a start-up. The higher management has hard opinions about things they know little about. Verbally abusive managers (that includes the CEO.) The CEO says he wants to hear feedback on work projects and processes, but he actually wants to hear positive feedback only. Because of that everyone is reluctant to voice opinions and, generally, proclaim anything. Some very capable and knowledgeable people who knew the CEO for years have left the company.
