Pros

Things are great now, but it feels like the company is right on the cusp of something awesome, it's really visible how much hard work is being done to make the business better for it's employees. I genuinely feel that the majority of people who work here are really proud to do so. It's obvious that the business will change so much for the better over the next few years and for a relatively young workforce, it's an amazing place to spend your 'formative years'. I hate to say it because it's so cheesy, but I sometimes feel like it's a job that I'll look back on in 20 years and say 'I was there when...'

Cons

The current policies around things like pension/maternity/paternity/healthcare etc are in their infancy and don't offer anything attractive for those looking to start a family in the next few years. Although it's clearly on the business' radar and it's obvious that its being looked into, it stops us from hiring really great people right now as those processes take time to get better. And for those who currently work there...no matter how much you love your job it can make the decision to stick around really difficult.

Hi and thanks for the review. I'm glad that you are enjoying your job and I certainly agree that it feels very exciting at the moment. We really do have ambitions to be a truly amazing place to work and are working hard to deliver this. I like a bit of Cheese and hope that in the future you do look back and go "WOW I was there when..." I think your "Cons" comments are fair. As you may know we did a huge project last year on terms and conditions which moved us forward in many areas but we have more to do and the areas that you mention are definitely at the top of my list. Thanks again - Ryan

The Ninja Story

Pros

Food, juices, nice toilets, nice office, some nice people. I can't think of anything else nice to put here, just filling in for the 20 word minimum requirement.

Cons

Hotel Ninjas was acquired by B.com and after 7 months the company was shutdown, mainly because they bought Buuteeq, an US company, that had a similar product. It has a lot to do with politics also. The Hotel Ninja team was the best team of people I have ever worked with, they could of built any product with very high standards. But B.com instead of reusing the team they fired them, only to hire some of them back afterwards. B.com sells itself as a startup spirit company, but in practice it is not. It is a massive company that is only driven by profits and bulling. From a technical point of view the technology is not appealing, the core of the system is written in Perl and MySQL for persistence. The code base is massive, and the only way they can keep it going is by hiring gurus from the Perl and MySQL communities. I was not impressed by what I saw and by how we were treated.
