Pros

They feed you every now and then as proof of their “great culture”…. They like branded cupcakes. Team engagement activities were fun but quite token. The events don’t actually fix the underlying dysfunction and poor communication. Great locations for offices. Hybrid working is nice, but exacerbates existing tensions because there is less opportunity to meet face to face to sort stuff out.

Cons

Some poorly trained staff (the company grew too fast), high turnover, some incompetent leadership e.g. a few senior sales members don’t understand the technical products they are selling, tension between various members of the Data and Engineering teams, conflict avoidant technical management, CEO who loves to promote start-up vibes but has somehow created a culture that combines problematic traits of VCs and US frat boy culture. Felt sorry for the data entry team, they seemed super over worked. The company tried to pivot with Covid as we were hit hard by the pause in travel, but there is some potentially dodgy decisions going on which sometimes felt kind of unethical, which was a factor in a few people leaving.

Pros

I have been with PredictHQ for more than 3 years now. This review is based on my personal experience and growth i have had in this company. This was my first real job in NZ. Everyone is nice. You feel so welcomed and safe in your comfort zone. Below are few things I'd love to highlight from my experience: - PredictHQ understands the importance of employee engagement as well as safe space for the employees. There's so much diversity. You really enjoy interacting with different people/teams everyday and be appreciated for your individuality. Work culture strongly focuses on performing well together rather performing better than each other. Leaders really care about their teams. Mentorship is fantastic! - There are no barriers between management and employees. Best part of working at PredictHQ, you are able to share your experience and opinions with pretty one anyone from your team leader to the CEO of the company. Yes!! You read that right. Senior management loves to talk, hear your views and take actions where required. There's no micro-management. People simply love taking care of each other. PHQ work culture condemn unhealthy work pressure by believing in quality work than quantity of work. Employees are quite encouraged to take breaks to prioritize their overall health. - Leaders and employees are given various internal/external training opportunities to excel in their roles. Management training is another nicest part of this initiative. This helps managers to understand their teams even better and help them reach their potential. - People are recognized for their amazing work on daily basis. Recognition is not limited to the amount of work or level of work done by individuals and teams. Every little thing counts. Its beautiful to see how the work culture credits its business success to each individual. - This is one happy place to work and grow. I have personally loved working here. This business has come long way from a small start up. Lot of things changed positively including number of employees. But one thing that stays consistent is the amount of willingness to keep getting better 'together'!

Cons

I cannot think of any cons. The fact is no workplace is 100% perfect. It requires team work and common goal to achieve so. We should always give others some benefit of doubt just the way we expect for ourselves. Regardless of job titles - senior or junior - everyone has their journey of accomplishments and learning in their own ways. Don't make judgements based off one sad experience. Be part of this workplace and put those judgements to rest! Believing in your hard work, a good leader and healthy work environment can help you reach your full potential. I prefer to think of PHQ this way - "Outstanding Leaders go out of their way to boost the self-esteem of their personnel. If people believe in themselves, it's amazing what they can accomplish". - Sam Walton (Founder of Wal-mart stores)

Pros

I really enjoyed my time at PredictHQ, the company really cares about the employees and allowing people to try different roles and see where they fit long term. Whether it be data analyst moving to a software engineer or data scientist to data input data analyst. As someone who joined a few months after finishing uni it was great to join a company where I could really use my degree to help shape the way data was collected and how internal tooling could be improved to increase both quality and quantity of events. Moving into Cross Functional Teams made it easier to get to know the other teams and people in the business who could help improve technical skills like python or explain pipeline architecture in an easily digestible manner. The only reason I decided to leave was an opportunity came my way to do something a little different and where I saw a different layer of growth for myself, otherwise I would still be at PredictHQ.

Cons

Being a startup not everything is planned out like a typical corporate environment. You get to learn and do many things but this can be tough as you might often be context switching with multiple pieces of work. This has improved over time but can still be a pain when you are trying to focus on a task.
