The best company to work for! - Senior Manager bei Convosphere: Mitarbeiterbewertung

Thanks for taking the time to leave us your thoughts. I’m glad that you found your colleagues to have a high level of integrity. That matters greatly to us as we trust them to be pro-active and manage their own schedules. I also appreciate that you are angry about the ending of your employment with us. The decision to close our US and Vietnamese operations following its recent acquisition was a difficult one taken only when it became clear that the investment we had agreed to support the software development of the platform was ultimately not forthcoming. Being forced to lose respected and talented members of the team was always going to be painful for a small, close-knit and friendly company like ours, so as I hope you know by now, there was no alternative for a self-funded start-up like ours which has no choice but to live within its means. As a self-funded startup, while it did take longer than we’d have liked to pay the downsized staff their outstanding salaries and benefits, honouring our commitments has led to us keeping in close contact with many of our former development team, and we hope to work with a number of them again later this year. Although the vast majority of the team were very supportive as we worked through these challenges, others were a little less forgiving which of course is their prerogative. As I believe you’ve now come to realise - through us honouring our commitments, we do genuinely care about our team.

Thanks for taking the time to leave your comments. I am pleased you have enjoyed working alongside warm and welcoming colleagues. We are justifiably proud of the team here at Convosphere. At the same time, I’m sorry that you were unclear about the strategic direction of the company. Like many small business owners, we constantly have to make calls about our business priorities as there are usually too many ideas and too little time to do them all. It is fair to say that the development of our technology platform took up much of our time and energy and then it was put on hold when the agreed investment failed to materialise. This was a frustration to all of the team. We are now firmly focused on our insights services business and feel that we and the team have a very clear understanding of where we are heading. We wish you all the best in your future endeavours.
