Great people, terrible clients - Software Engineer Burendo Employee Review

I had a really positive experience working at Burendo. The company has a genuinely collaborative culture, with supportive colleagues and approachable leadership who care about both client outcomes and personal development. The environment encouraged innovation while still maintaining a healthy balance between delivery and people wellbeing. The teams are talented, friendly, and passionate about delivering value, which makes it a great place to learn and build experience. I also appreciated the flexibility and trust given to employees, along with the emphasis on creating an inclusive and respectful workplace. Pros: Supportive and collaborative culture Flexible working environment Interesting and meaningful client work Friendly and knowledgeable colleagues

As with most consultancies, priorities can shift quickly depending on client needs, but teams generally work well together to adapt.

Abundance of good people willing to share.

Leadership is not good at maximising and developing talent. Focus on getting a keeping consultants in roles with limited choice meaning that role may not be suitable. Continually trying and failing to solve sales funnel so work is either feast or famine. Perm employees often treated like contractors and left on client with limited guidance or support. Company's fluctuating performance has meant multiple years of under inflation and market average pay rises meaning previous good compensation is now a bit below average.
