Pros

The former days of being a collaborative and supportive team

Cons

The sense of hierarchy has taken over. The American takeover has had a huge adverse effect on global team operations. The overwhelming interest in removing the former team who built it to where it is today. The complete contempt and dismissal of respect to those who sweated over BookingBug to only be pushed out of the window. The deception of internal messaging to the business that everything is on a positive path, when in fact, expect to be expelled at any time. Nepotism and brown-nosing has become the new approach for the original team. A warning: expect to be subservient.

Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear you felt that the sense of hierarchy has taken over. Creating and maintaining a strong company culture is very important to us to ensure our employees are satisfied in their job. With this in mind, we acknowledge that in the past year and a half we have implemented changes to our company to help us scale whilst striving every day to do the best for our employees and create an environment that appreciates and recognises all employees. One of those changes was a focus on our Senior Team to ensure there is more structure, innovation and support as we grow. It’s a really exciting and unusual time for us all, and we thank you for taking the time to share this feedback. Kind regards, The People Team at JRNI

Pros

Limited but there are good people left from the original teams the new ownership has cobbled together. They are the glue keeping everything together.

Cons

Toxic and Arrogant Owners "who are operators" think every single part of the company is a Lego. Replaceable and interchangeable in their eyes. And if you are not a male from Boston, you will likely be replaced with an outsourced Lego from India as soon as convenient. Every single executive hired by the new Owners has quit (not been fired despite the fake information) very quickly in the 3+ years of ownership including multiple CEOs, CTOs, and other leadership. Only remaining personnel at the executive or leadership level are NEW or directly tied to the Owners PE Fund. Continue to acquire companies without ANY understanding of how the technologies will integrate and simply yell until their demands are met or the responsible parties have given up and quit. No culture to speak of because it is basically just a full shop of Indian engineers with some American management. Any other individuals in the company are simply isolated. Arrogance obliterates any rational conversation at the decision making level.
