Pros

Work / Life balance is good Remote working

Cons

On payday, after 10 months of working at Mashroom, I was told that they didn't have any money to pay my salary. They did pay others. After 5 days of waiting, they told me that they were letting me go because they couldn't afford me anymore. They still haven't paid my 1.5-month salary to this day (2.5 months past), and they haven't answered their emails even though I tried to be civil about it. When I started working, we had an office where we could eat free lunch and order two free coffees daily. After a couple of months, all the freebies were gone (even though a review here said we still had them. Management, is it you?). Then the office was gone, and finally, me. You don't feel like you are part of the company; you only have a relationship with your division, and because you don't know the direction, you can't adjust yourself accordingly.

Pros

At the time we got free lunch, I’ve heard this has been stopped now

Cons

Micromanagement from senior staff who lacked knowledge in my area, preventing me from doing my job effectively. They attempted to dismiss me illegally for forgetting to write a handover before a five-day holiday (my bad, but accidents happen!), despite my boss being fully informed. Upon returning, I was called to a dismissal meeting without any prior written notice or warnings, violating their own procedures. When I pointed out the legal issues and resigned, they initially refused to pay my notice period, only relenting after I threatened legal action. I never heard from my line manager after receiving the dismissal notice, and still haven’t to this day—no goodbyes, no communication—just a company that consistently leaves people on bad terms. The company has a high turnover and had previously seemingly fired people for taking time off due to illness. Management is disorganised, and there’s no respect/trust to their junior staff who are perfectly capable.
