Pros

Some of the most talented staff

Cons

Commitments for benefits and basic tools (cars for example) were made and rarely delivered and those who dared to speak up were swiftly terminated, this led to a very anxious and supressed workforce, some of which were hugely talented. Disorganised, disrespectful, poor management and were unable to satisfy contractual obligations but expected staff to sign an opt-out agreement to work 48 hours+. Evidence of bullying and exploiting staff, some of whom worked excessive overtime without pay and treated staff as disposable. Be wary of any benefits discussed as these will be utilised as golden handcuffs and will never come to fruition. Turnover of staff was excessive.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are proud of the extremely talented team that we have at Connected Kerb and strive to achieve a culture that gives our brilliant people the freedom to express feedback both positive and constructive. As a startup/scaleup, yes, this does mean that not all our processes are 100% in place and in the recruitment process we’re clear about this so everyone joining knows what to expect. We are steadily growing our team to bring in the talent to evolve and develop our benefits and ensure we deliver what we promise. As a small business we do expect a lot from our people and some of our objectives can require additional hours. However, we make sure that all our teams are well supported and offer TOIL when necessary to ensure everyone is getting the rest they need. Your comments regarding bullying are of course concerning and I encourage you to reach out to me directly to have a conversation on any specific examples you may have witnessed. We want our people to feel comfortable to communicate all concerns with either the C-Suite or the People Team directly and will deal with any allegations of this nature seriously and in line with our policy.
