Great team culture undermined by lack of tech value

Pros

The original Booktopia team, before the recent management changes, was very friendly, supportive, and collaborative. The company culture used to be great (before management change), and the people within the tech team are genuinely helpful and hardworking.

Cons

- Unfortunately, Booktopia is not a great place to be if you are working in tech. In my experience, tech does not seem to be valued as a core part of the business. The focus is mostly on supporting the website and keeping things running, with very little recognition for the work the tech team does. - The overall strategy appears to lean more towards outsourcing rather than developing and hiring local tech talent. - I would strongly recommend thinking carefully before making that decision. you might end up wasting your time.
