Start-up with no clear vision = no future

Pros

The fact that the senior management doesn't have a clear vision is absolutely shocking. If you are clever though you can make the most of it and explore different tasks within this very chaotic company. On top of that you get to work with a good team of international, hard-working and mostly skilled members.

Cons

Lack of clear vision and company mission: The one thing you don't want to do is work for people that don't have a clear vision and therefore don't have goals. Yes, you are right - if there are no goals, there are no targets for you to achieve. In other words, you can just get paid for doing almost nothing - if that's what you are looking for then don't look no further. If however you want to grow professionally (long-term) - forget about Userfarm. Lack of professionalism and people skills: There is no professional attitude at all - if you are asked to speak your mind - nobody is listening - so don't waste your energy. If you want to improve processes and work-flows - nobody has time for you. If you want to challenge opinions and performances - you will get shouted at. e.g. Look at this company review - the company is clearly not popular amongst former employees. Instead of changing things up, Userfarm thinks its best to just come up with some fake positive reviews! Well played guys! Biggest disadvantage: UK Finance department. Probably the only finance department that doesn't pay third parties and employees and refuses to give any reasons for delays. You are simply getting told to be patient. Office culture: None. Benefits: You wish. Promotions: Goodnight.

Lies lies lies

Pros

There is absolutely nothing good about this company except few friendly people who are working there.. But these people rather already left or planning to leave very soon. The office located in the heart of Camden town, which is nice, but the building itself belongs to charity housing organization, which accommodates homeless people and people in needs. So you would be surrounded with people, who sometimes can be aggressive, stinky, drunken or sick.

Cons

They never pay on time their video makers which makes community managers and other staff looks stupid explaining videomakers when they call or send emails asking for their money, they always give different excuses to video makers why they have not been paid. Also, sometimes salaries to employees are late, and they pay salaries in the middle of the month for the previous month. Also, many many people who left the company have not been paid their last salary at all, or have been paid with a big delay. Some of the people working there are very rude too, talking about everyone behind their backs, being two- faced and cannot even speak proper English.

THIS COMPANY IS A JOKE

Pros

great people - not sure how but they managed to gather together great talents, and people that work hard, apart few exceptions which include managing and finance dep in uk, ignorant and unprofessional.

Cons

Hierarchy issues: the managers think they can rule people however they want with no respect at all from them. They ask for everything and give nothing in return, I have never seen such a horrible way to treat your staff, without rewards, no gain at all. They don't give you contracts and you will work as a freelancer, having to pay your own taxes: nothing wrong with that if the salary were actually decent enough to make you survive. Promises of growth, career and pay rise are only a dream, forget it, they never happen. Finance department is equally disastrous: payments are always late, due to lame excuses, and if someone tries to protest they will answer with in the rudest, most unprofessional way possible. Indeed generalising, that is what the entire company is: TOTALLY UNPROFESSIONAL. Don't go work for them, either if you are an employer or a videomaker.
