Pros

I worked for Wynyard for two years as part of the marketing team. I was pretty young - straight out of uni - but I always felt like a valued member of the team. Everyone in the Auckland office was lovely, hard working and had an awesome attitude.

Cons

Nothing negative about the Auckland office - can't speak about the others because I haven't been there.

Pros

You work on stuff that matters. Helping solve crime is a tonne more meaningful than many other software company purists. You’re helping to build a company from the ground up, you can see your efforts in action and your work has a direct impact on the company and it’s customers. My experience with management is that they've been very supportive. Over my career at Wynyard I’ve been able move around roles and gain experience it would be very hard to get elsewhere. Worked on a bunch of projects that I’m really proud to be a part of and have on the CV. Good benefits, car park, bonus programme, company travel, phone etc

Cons

Fundamentally Wynyard is a start up. As a result you get everything that comes with that kind of an environment and that’s not going to be for everyone. Long hours, tight deadlines, hustling to make sales, get leads, build software. Lots of changes in direction. There is significant pressure on everyone in the company to get results, but that’s not a bad thing when you are a young company. After a massive growth period post IPO, Wynyard are focusing efforts, aiming for breakeven then profit. Unfortunately some people have had to move on recently, due the revised focus, and these changes have put company in a position to enable future growth and getting the cash burn rate under control. Ultimately, Wynyard have a found niche in investigations and analytics software for government and law enforcement. The market is sizeable and has a real need for the products. They have the building blocks in place to capitalise on this opportunity.

Pros

Great teams to work with. Great group of managers in the Engineering team. Interesting products with cool technology. Realistic approach to roadmaps and work/life balance. Lots of opportunities to grow and an easy place to innovate and improve. Supportive of professional development.

Cons

Lack of overall business strategy and direction. Values are generic and don't drive behaviour. Has been burning too much cash and needs to get to profitability quickly.
