Pros

There are a few smart individual working in the company.

Cons

Lies lies lies. Business is a sinking ship, You are put in constant worry that if x does not happen you might not have your job next year. They are established business marketing themselves as startup - because that's cool! Culture of fear and bully in the team, Stress levels are so high that you'll notice it by observing your colleague even for being there for only few days. Respect? Forget about it, You are a cog in the machine. Code base is a mess that no one knows exactly how it works. Business objectives? no one really knows they are still trying to figure it after being in market for few years. People are fighting over job titles like its a all they have in the world, If you update your job title to Senior software engineer on LinkedIn, You'll get confronted by 'a' colleague telling you HE is the senior person not you! lol , Get a life! Technically there are a few individual who know what they are doing, the rest? They pretend they know how to do the job :) Oh and if you are promised anything on your interview, don't take it seriously because suddenly plans can change and even though you were promised only few weeks back, Its now completely off the table. Do yourself a favor and work for other companies, There are so many other jobs in Manchester paying same salary (and more) and treating you like a human :)

Firstly, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. Clearly your experience with us wasn't a positive one and as we do try to be fair and open with all our employees, we feel it is only right we should respond to your review. As a business grows, there are always inevitable challenges. 2019 has been a big year for us to date and we have invested significantly in some great people who are going to help us grow the business even further - we’re really excited about the team that we have in place and the future looks bright. Working at a high growth, ambitious company is not for everyone, especially when not all processes and structures have been ironed out and implemented fully. However, we have made some changes to the organisation and as a result we’ve made massive strides forward with our working culture. We’re also recruiting some new core roles to the business including a Head of HR who will help us to drive a positive working environment and increase performance across the teams. It is never the case that everyone always agrees with the direction and objectives, however we are focussed on building a great company that solves its customers’ needs when it comes to financing large purchases. We are grateful to you for giving us your feedback and we are sorry that it hasn't been a more positive experience on this occasion. We wish you well in your next role.

Pros

It's an exciting time to be working at etika, the team is relatively small with big ideas. The company has successfully rebranded and is investing a lot into the development of the platform. We work collaboratively with different teams and I'm encouraged to share my opinion. I'm giving a lot of autonomy and freedom to do my job, which allows me to take creative approaches and lead with value when managing my pipeline. The company has recently implemented a hybrid working model, which has given me a lot more flexibility. It's also a dog-friendly office which is a big bonus! Most importantly, everyone is genuinely kind and welcoming. There are no egos at etika. I am very happy to be here and excited to see us scale.

Cons

The team is still lean, which makes it a hands-on/collaborative effort. There's also a lot of freedom to do your job which means you have to make your own structure (especially in sales). There are sometimes early calls with Australia, which I love but is worth mentioning as we are often balancing our calendars to make sure we can work with our team on the other side.

Pros

I never worked in such a young, fun and forward thinking company and I have loved every second of my time here, The people and the perks are amazing! I would highly recommend working here!

Cons

I have put on so much weight by consuming too much chocolate and biscuits that are brought into the office!
