Pluspunten

Some great people to work with

Minpunten

Management don't like to tackle issues head on. Problems are ignored or swept under the rug. Not many opportunities for promotion. Lots of turnover, with managers hiring staff who aren't needed while taking a long time to find staff for vital departments that need staff due to the low wage. Some new staff only lasted a few days before leaving the company. The pay is very low and they will not raise pay at all. Lots of good employees left due to management being unwilling to raise wages in any capacity, not even to match inflation. They then spend money on buying multiple Tesla's per branch and celebrating large deals made with companies, before making staff redundant.

Sorry to hear you felt your experience with Compnow wasn’t great. Management are committed to providing a workplace where issues can be raised and dealt with in a timely manner, whilst also offering opportunity for career advancement. We’ve also worked more strategically around our hiring needs for the future, to ensure we are getting the right staff onboard when they are required and improving our perks and benefits to ensure long-term retention. Our managers exercise an open-door policy where we encourage confidential salary discussions and we ensure we compensate our employees fairly, in alignment with the relevant awards. The Tesla fleet replaced an existing fleet of company cars, and most staff were excited about our sustainability focus. - Compnow Careers Team

Pluspunten

- The people you work with are genuinely good and supportive. - You get exposure to a wide range of deployments and tech environments. - Decent place to build early experience if you’re just starting out.

Minpunten

- Pay for deployment roles is well under market, especially considering the workload and responsibility. - They talk about an “open door policy,” but it doesn’t lead anywhere when it comes to pay or progression. - No regular pay reviews, so salaries stay stuck unless you leave. - A lot of talk about “future opportunities” or “new roles,” but it often feels like a carrot on a stick — always promised, never delivered. - High expectations and shifting priorities without the pay or support to match. - Extra effort or stepping up rarely leads to better pay or a title change.

Thank you for taking the time to provide such detailed feedback and for acknowledging the strengths of the team and the exposure gained while you were here. We’re genuinely pleased that you found your colleagues supportive and that the role provided valuable early career experience. We also want to address the concerns you’ve raised and over the past few years, we've taken concrete steps to improve transparency, progression, and pay structure across all of our technical teams. We have conducted external salary benchmarking in alignment with the appropriate industry awards and can confidently say that we are meeting the current market rates for comparable roles. Our open-door policy also encourages transparent communication and accountability, ensuring those conversations lead to clear outcomes, rather than open ended discussions. This also includes potential progression pathways from role to role, which is a big contributor to why our annual turnover is minimal and overall, why our staff enjoy working at Compnow. To anyone considering joining us, we encourage open conversations during the hiring process and invite you to speak with current team members to better understand the kind of workplace we strive to maintain! - Compnow Careers Team
