Pros

Compensation and office are fine, free coffee and snacks. The service and actual product are at the decent level. People you work with are smart.

Cons

Culture eats strategy for breakfast and the culture is absent. It’s one-man company and always has been. Each department head is trying to guess the CEO’s mood and “Anton said” is every-day mantra. If you are ready to work in this environment, that’s okay, but it’s not gonna last long. Half of people who worked with CEO churned this year. And it happens every year across all functions.

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. At Wheely, we strive to foster a positive collaborative culture, and we are sorry to hear that the experience you describe does not fully reflect this. Across all levels, we encourage employees to work proactively and pay great attention to detail. Sometimes this may entail a hands-on leadership style, but this is less about trust and more about ensuring we meet the high standards our clients expect and deserve for the long term success of the business. It would also be fair to acknowledge that, over ten years into our journey, Wheely’s founder-CEO remains incredibly engaged across many different topics. This is a net positive and helps us stay aligned on our mission and deliver on our long term vision for Wheely

A company where people don't matter, just profit - at any cost.

Pros

The remuneration and benefits packages are decent. This may be as a result of the cons attached to the company (outlined later in this review), whereby Wheely need to pay for employees to put their life on the line to maintain benefits and compensation over anything else.

Cons

I can honestly say this company did more damage to my physical health, self esteem, and general life outlook than any other company I have been a part of. At points during my tenure I was threatened that 'my head would roll' for something completely outside of my remit - EG: WiFi going down, when I was not a IT/tech employee. The atmosphere on site felt intensely 'cliquey' and threatening, and sick days (EG: being in hospital for urgent A&E care) were not respected without backlash.

Pros

Good benefits - lunch allowance, Wheely credits

Cons

Glorifies overworking - everyone works 10-12hrs a day, and the expectation is to respond to messages immediately. You can never switch off Inconsistent decision making Constant fear of getting fired or called out in public by leadership Very high turnover. All the good people leave because they know they can go somewhere else Complete lack of diversity (or even awareness that diversity is important)
