      Nice environment to work, all the people in the company works hard to deliver the best results. A good place to try new tools and programming languages.

      They don't have a focus on the projects; the teams start to work in something and a few months later all the work is unnecessary.

      I worked at Quiqup full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      Cool concept, there are dogs in the office, some of the people who work there are great, we were all quite united in our feelings towards the company and the office so in some sense felt like a community of unhappy people!

      Cons

      There are so many it's hard to know where to begin,
      90% of the senior leadership team have no business running the business. It's proof that just because you have a good business idea, it doesn't mean you can run a business. Decisions were never stuck to and plans changed everyday, frustrating a lot of people. There was little structure in any of the teams and a lot of senior leaders and interns/more junior members of staff. Leaders would spend all their time working on the strategy and nothing would be done as they all believed they were better than actually actioning anything. Everyone is stretched to their maximum capacity at all times, and the location is not ideal! The nearest shop is 15 mins away and you feel very unsafe going on your own.

      Advice to Management

      Try not to be so arrogant, people are trying to make your vision come to life and you don't treat many of the staff with much respect. Let the people you have hired do what you have hired them to do, you don't always know best! Try and stick to one plan, atleast for longer than a day. Hire someone to run the company who knows how to run a company, your staff are miserable.
