Gearset reviews about "everyone"

Can't think of any cons

General cons, but not negative if you're open to it: Can be very challenging subject matter if you're not technically driven Can be constant imposter syndrome - you often feel like the dumbest person in the room with so many people around you A lot of changes happening quickly These cons are balanced by the fact that leadership is transparent, people are willing to help and support, and everyone often feels like they're in the same boat

The only con I have is that I am a remote worker and the UK HQ is in Cambridge which can be hard to get to. I make the most of when I do go into the office!

Sometimes you are asked to do something and then things move around you so by the time you're finished with what you were working on it ends up not being needed.

Not a con, but something to consider: The work is intellectually challenging. The company is trying to solve really meaty problems for customers, all whilst moving really fast. This means the pace of change is high. Something that wouldn't suit everyone.

With Gearset growing at such an exciting pace, it's understandable that implementing progression opportunities in some areas has taken a bit of time, and the expectations can feel quite challenging at times. That said, I couldn’t recommend Gearset more as a fantastic place to work!

Gearset is an incredibly powerful (and yes, sometimes complex!) and that can feel overwhelming at first. But what’s made all the difference for me is the support. Whenever I hit a wall trying to understand a feature or a technical concept, I’m not left on my own. Between the fantastic learning resources and a team that genuinely wants to help, I always come away with clarity. Sometimes that means chatting directly with the developer who built it. Other times, it’s a deep dive with the Product Manager who shaped the vision. That kind of access and openness makes a huge difference in helping me put my best foot forward. It’s one thing to work at a company that builds great tools and cares deeply about their customers, It’s another to be part of a culture that helps you grow while they do it.

However, a lot of close-minded people work here, and when I say close-minded, I mean people who were very much stuck in their own ways and weren't afraid to make you feel like you didn't belong there. Although the CEO and Leadership team would sit next to you at your desks, there was still some hierarchy - if you've been working there for 4+ years, the favouritism and special treatment is obvious, and they held power in their decisions, even if this meant you being excluded from activities and initiatives that could've promoted your own growth.

You're challenged and pushed out of your comfort zone - but for folks who want to grow and develop with the company you work for, this is a great thing.
