Pros

- Decent product - Some lovely people

Cons

To echo the below review, regular sexual harassment that is actively laughed away by HR (seriously) and senior staff members. Discussion of female employee's appearances, whether they'd sleep with them, etc, conducted openly in the office. Self-absorbed, creepy senior management who view and treat female employees as potential conquests, even those in relationships and those half their age and twice their intellect. Certain members of staff have been complained about over and over again, with no consequence. Talk of fired employee's salaries being added onto their partner's salary to shut them up and stop them complaining. Pivotal and crucial members of staff leaving without so much as a thankyou from the CEO, who pretends to care, but actually couldn't care any less. Low salaries and pitiful pay rises across the board (except for senior management, of course). No bonuses. No incentive. General politics, pitting employees against each other, barely any space for progression or decent treatment if you aren't prepared to suck up to a senior member of staff.

Pros

- Long term direction & c-suite leadership making right decisions - Great early career experience working with a series of ross-functional and international teams - Lots of exposure to both higher-level business strategy and technical concepts if you're willing to look for it

Cons

- Occasional conflict between stuck-in-their-ways middle management & senior leadership that results in mixed signals for most employees. - Mountains of tech debt - Client retention is very high because product is very difficult to off-board. Led to large numbers of unsatisfied customers reaching out to an already struggling client services department. - Product/Industry comes with a very high learning curve. Employees had a fairly high turnover rate. This led to problems with spending tons of time to train employees only for them to leave shortly after they became self-sufficient. Over time, employees felt less incentivized to train incoming employees and compounded the problem. Huge drain on morale. - No formal internal training - Continued selling products to clients that straight up did not work (political contributions search) and punting the problem to the CS team to deal with the fallout. - No QA team - Limited opportunities for career growth within StarCompliance
