Portable Reviews

Unfortunately, the business is unbelievably mismanaged. There is no positive culture fostered by management, projects always run over budget and people end up resourced in completely unsustainable ways, and it is generally a miserable place to work. Management have never listened to anyone when they say there are major problems, and they still pretend everyone is happy and there is no culture problem when there clearly is. Remuneration is also very poor, at 20-30% below market rates. There are some perks and non financial benefits, but they definitely in no way make up for the massive pay discrepancy. If you work at Portable you can expect to make a real difference through the work you get to do, but at the expense of your own mental health, stress levels, and very low salaries. It's not worth it.

- management team are driven by self interest, bottom line and have no real care or compassion for their employees - there is a distinct line between how those in the 'partnership' are treated versus everyone else - very poor work environment conditions (no air-conditioning, no natural light in some areas, unclean kitchen and bathroom) - constant change of priorities and context switching demanded from all team members - continual pattern of under quoting and over promising to win new business puts everyone under unnecessary stress in delivery and makes for unhappy clients
