Pros
- Talented people to work with who are driven and fun to work with (this is probably the main reason why people stay at Tigerspike) - Supportive local management team -Flexible work hours/ work from home policy -Professional/personal budget (before COVID, but now is unavailable until who knows when) -Some good office culture/perks (bootcamp, Friday lunches, Friday drinks etc) but budget cuts have started making these less quality - Great work life balance
Kontras
- Culture has been going downhill and is being taken over by Concentrix (new CEO/Global mgt has no desire to protect Tigerspike culture) - Cutting of costs for everything bringing down employee morale (even small things like employee biscuits) - Engineers being underpaid - No desire to retain the talented employees or the people who make the biggest contributions to Tigerspike - Path progression/support for progression is not a priority for global management -No power is given to local management when they know the office/employees the best. Local management is unable to make decisions due to global management control. Global management calls the shots, local management is then informed after) - No priority to make sure we have sufficient tools to perform our jobs (probably due to budget cuts) -Too centred we around Sydney office -Employees feel quite far removed from global management team and do not feel like they listen to any feedback -Not too much focus on innovation -Barely put in a process for pay reviews (one did not exist before), however this was not followed through due to COVID -Processes internally are quite slow
