A lot to fix.

Pros

-Salaries are more or less competitive (although good luck getting a raise).

Cons

Sales org: -Nepotism. E.g. A certain individual ( within sales leadership) hired an old friend and issued him a salary higher than their direct manager's + prevented him from getting fired when they are about to be. No comment. -Sales leadership is a tight group of middle aged men who look out for each other instead of focusing on the wellbeing of their teams. There is a lot of finger pointing with most of it being towards their direct reports. Getting motivated and inspired are not things you will ever receive here. -Despite proclaiming itself to be a technology company, the nowadays must-practice concepts of mindfulness and team building are non-existing. -High and unrealistic sales targets. Other orgs: -Overall high turnover, talent is unappreciated and constantly leaving. -Product releases are rushed and cause constant issues. -Good chunk of people are simply counting months until their stock options fully vest. -People team let confidential information spread, watch out. -No effective channel for company staff to anonymously review their management.

Pros

Management The CEO and CTO are great guys, young at heart, with clear passion for the product & success of the company. Upper middle management are doing a great job, with the exception of only a few. Product Emesent has an interesting technology, exciting to work with & an easy showcase. A passionate team of engineers lead the way in 3D mapping & autonomy with some of the most superior brains in the industry. Emesent create stunning output, changing the virtual world. Culture A mostly respectful inter-staff culture with loads of diversity. Great coffee machine. Fun location close to restaurants & bars with lively friday drinks & occasional kick-ons. A young demographic who promote healthy lifestyle choices. Excellent work flexibility with 1-2 days in office if necessary which is great for family. Location Close to restaurants & cafes, public transport. River views.

Cons

Management The CEO is an engineer without solid business acumen. The CTO rules tough and struggles to hear better judgement. I didn't meet the President as he never, or rarely, visited our office (next door). Since his arrival Emesent lost a large percentage of staff, workload amplified & sales dropped. Product Issues were ongoing. Lack of cohesione between teams. Wavering customer satisfaction. Targets forever changing so good luck achieving them. Staff High staff turnover, low job security & staff retention. They struggle to retain good talent. Staff expressed seeing out their shares & many looking elsewhere for work. Staff are disposable. Good luck getting reasonable pay for your efforts. Culture Hollow corporate jargon was sanitising the authentic culture. Much gossip & rumor with leaks seeming to come through management & assistants.

Poor outlook & very high staff turnover

Pros

Flexible working arrangements, good office location, interesting technology and engineering challenges. Remuneration is reasonably competitive.

Cons

Competitors have caught up, sales are down, and a short-term product pipeline that's unlikely to reverse that. Very high turnover impacts staff morale.
