Fast-paced start-up - Anonymous employee Switchcraft Employee Review

The work is relatively easy and not in a rush to be completed.

Pay is poor, Insurance is expensive and does not provide much coverage, Management does not care about employees, There is no advancement within the organization in order to improve your pay.

Switchcraft is a fast growing start up. The team are competent and experienced in their specialities - which include a range of banking, finance, software, SEO, energy and customer service. It's a good mix and a strong team - with the benefit that everyone works hard toward their-end and listens to the advice of others. Other larger companies I have worked for have had more of an issue with buck-passing and offloading work etc - this is not the case at Switchcraft. Competencies are quickly recognised and there is plenty of headroom to grow into a particular role.

Start-ups are different to big companies - things happen fast. Agility and quick-thinking is important where resources are not to hand - as they might be in a bigger company. That is less a con - as it is a warning to future applicants!
