No growth and clearly visible politics around the company
|
|
People who are not in Leadership team
Company events
Sick Leave and flexibility in working
|
No growth and career opportunities
You would be stuck unless Manager likes you and add you to favorites (Which is not the case if you just believe in hard working)
Some managers are not capable of being manager.

Could name few people in Leadership who are not right fit for the company. HR team should take the employee concerns seriously as some managers have been complained multiple times on sexual harassments and internal politics but no steps taken by the HR team. Company is better off without those managers.

Unleashed was awesome until Access comes along
|
|
Flexible working
Good team culture (before access)
|
Working environment is extremely toxic ... people are leaving left right centre. The management is absolutely delusional to think that this is sustainable.

Overall the best company i've worked for
|
|
I worked at Unleashed for a few years and overall it was a great company with a fantastic group of people. There aren't many mid to large businesses around where managers and the leadership team genuinely care about staff and try to put people first while balancing the company needs.
With the company recently being sold to the larger Access Group, there should be career opportunities for staff across the group.
|
Like many fast-growing businesses, there were some growing pains with bottlenecks and some things taking longer to get done, but that's a challenge moving from a start-up to a mid-sized company.

Do not ruin your career by accepting the job offer. Highly toxic environment and unprofessional Senior Manager
|
|
- Excellent understanding, co-ordination and bonding between developers, testers and product owners
- Skilled staff and always ready to help each other
- Company events
- Friday pizzas and drinks
|
- Highly toxic environment. Constant bullying by one senior person who constantly misuses the power of designation and will make you feel disrespected and lower down your self esteem.
- I have personally experienced mental stress on many occasions. Report it to manager about it and they will make you feel more stressed by asking you to obey the orders from that senior person.
- A huge staff attrition off-late. Atmosphere between colleagues is really good and they do their best and work as a team. However, management has this constant habit of poking you each and every moment, purposely trying to find faults and blame you heavily before whole team or at times even before the company.
There have been occasions in past when staff were asked to do push ups for being late for meetings.
- I have myself been in tears few times and as per the senior manager's policies, you are not allowed to shed tears at work.
- ‘Authenticity’ is one of the company vision and they strongly promote it. On contrary, when you try to share authentic views, you will be suppressed and yelled for being impolite.
- Senior Manager has the freedom to pass any sort of remark about your performance before others which will make you doubt your own ability.
Feedbacks given to reporting manager do not get passed on to HR and even if it’s passed, there will not be any action taken as senior manager and HR share a good relation.
There is constant favouritism and if you are not in good books with higher management, you will be highly insulted and would be constant target. Have seen senior manager yelling at one of her staff very badly for not showing up on time one morning. This shows the modern world dictatorship. Something that could be done inside a meeting room, was done openly before everybody to make the staff less valued.
- Experienced, nice and humble people from Development, Product, Testing and Marketing have resigned off-late, which is obvious looking at the constant torture they suffer from this senior person. I could foresee many more resignations to come as most of my colleagues have already started looking out for better opportunities.
- To show the company in good books, they offer 2 day work from home, but you will be constantly observed by your managers over slack to find an occasion to hammer you for not being online.

- Change the Senior Manager or else we will see your company getting smaller and smaller
- Get rid of 'Authentic' from our company values as staff with authentic views are the one's to face the heat and undergo trauma from this senior person.
- We really got extremely talented people in your development and product team. Do not make them feel low in life and undergo depression with negative comments from this senior person. Instead support your staff by taking strict actions against people who believe in bullying.
- We really have a good product and aspire to make it better everyday, stop one person from ruining your company

I've learned a lot at Unleashed
|
|
Location is great, office is nice, and colleagues are as good as any I've had elsewhere. I think the product itself is awesome. It makes it a bit easier working on a product you actually like.
With any piece of software started a decade ago, some parts of it are a bit long in the tooth, but I've seen great ongoing investment in moving the tech forward and modernising parts of it, and developing new applications in modern stacks. Things have improved quite a lot since I started and there has been opportunities and training to get a lot of hands on with AWS which has been good. I think every team now has something they work on that is in a current techstack while they also maintain and bring up to date the main application too.
I can't speak for managers in marketing/sales/customer engagement teams, but certainly in the engineering department the managers themselves are great people, superb engineers, and care a lot about their people.
CEO is a pretty friendly, well-read guy.
|
It's different now but, It's somewhat painfully obvious the early years of engineering at Unleashed were fairly undisciplined, so there's some areas of the code that are a bit gnarly which adds to cognitive load. Eventually it clicks, but some parts it'd be nice to see the back of. I think some of that will be straightened out over time given the ongoing commitment to improving the solution. It's going to take some time, but that just means there is great opportunity for a good engineer to come in and really leave it better than they found it.
Management wise I think the product side of the business has been a bit too choppy. People coming and going. Priorities chopping and changing a little too frequently. It's been a little better in the last year, but I sort of expect more of the same. That being said if you zoom out and look at the long term performance business-wise the results are there, so I guess they're alright at what they do.

Employee satisfaction research is transparent and not anonymous so think twice or your will need to explain why are you unhappy in front of a whole team
the word "career-limiting" is vastly used especially when providing feedback
Old views working from home and flexible hours
Promotions are not based on merit and hard work but on favoritism

Dysfunctional Organisation filled with Favouritism and Toxicity
|
|
The hype around Unleashed is positive. It really feels like you are building something special. "Good Products Matter" is what Unleashed stands for and we work with lots of unique businesses doing some great work.
|
- Generally poor benefits and compensation compared to competitors
- Review of benefits is constantly promised but never addressed. For example holiday has finally been increased from 20 days. Unfortunately not by Unleashed caring about staff but by contract alignment due to the Access Group purchase
- The old fashioned "Better together" policy means we all have to go to the office.
- Since being acquired by Access Group we've seen a number of key personnel leave including most recently the company's founder. These are people who I saw as part of the core Unleashed team and personality of the company.
More concerning is I have experienced bullying and favouritism myself as well as having seen incidents in meetings of it. Afterwards I've sometimes spoken to colleagues and we are shocked by what's been said.
Particularly concerning is the behaviour of one senior person who consistently says inappropriate things about staff to staff. This covers everything from their job performance, to personal things about them or their family which should really be kept private.
Finally it doesn't feel like a safe place to provide feedback as any employee survey is picked apart as a witch hunt to try and establish the source of the feedback so everyone has stopped through fear of future issues. It's not even possible to go to HR as the person responsible is also a friend of the exec who often makes these remarks.

Great people, disappointing Management
|
|
- Convenient location
- modern, well equipped office
- Company Events
- Fantastic and supportive colleagues
|
- Lack of transparency
- Lots of internal politics
- Career opportunities not based on Merits but on relationships, favouritism
- Management doesn't encourage change or listen to feedback
- Some managers are inappropriate, not professional, too emotional and lack management training and skills
- Speaking up to improve the product, culture, processes or else is not well regarded
- lack of trust and micro management is common in some departments
- Many employees stay because they have/ they think they have no other choices (low self esteem, visa considerations, been there too long)
- Great managers and professional new hires have often left within the first few months when realising what's hiding behind the pretty front
