Great team working on interesting and challenging projects - werkgeversreview Frontend Developer bij Evolution 7

Flexible working during COVID. Ending now as new additions are expected to be in an empty office (because nobody wants to go) at least 3 days per week.

First of all, don't be fooled. Lots of the positive reviews are written by current employees that have no other option but to make up a reality that doesn't exist per management request. -No perks, contrary which what is promised during interviews. -You can’t live up to client's expectations. They are told straight-up lies. -Resources are never enough for the amount of work which leads to the team stressing out, working long unpaid hours and angry clients. -Most of the team of developers/designers are overseas or contractors work full time for project. Very inconvenient for Melbourne based clients and staff. -Flexible hours and “minimum” contact with people overseas are promised, but this is not the case. Definitely no work-life balance. -Expect you to solve tasks that are not even project management related: Invoicing and phone calls (no office manager), legal and sale contracts (no sales team) and support (no support team). -The lack of support and culture is absurd. You are given the cold shoulder when you raise the problems described above. -False promises are made all the time to clients and to staff. -Absolutely no career development at all. -Salaries are below market. -High staff turnover due to people being burnt out and impossible deadlines. - Management had actions and behaviour that can be seen as bullying.

Culture - Amazing studio space - Team lunch every Friday - Flexible start times - Ability to work from home - VR and games lounge - Quality banter - Free pilates - Every Tuesday someone is nominated to bring in a food dish for the team - Sonos speakers - Friday drinks in the studio - Barcelona office (good excuse to travel) Business - Management are transparent to staff and clients - There's always a genuine investment in your professional development and skills with staff going to workshops and events - Strong internal processes and documentation in the form of an internal wiki - Happy to purchase software or platforms if they are needed - They don't say yes to all new clients and will knock back businesses that they don't believe in or are unethical Couldn't recommend this place any more.
