Pros

Working with some employees with Integrity.

Cons

1. It's funny to read some of the reviews here because I apparently worked with them before. He's definitely aware of the situation leadership brought us, Founders stopped paying their employees and discontinued insurance since February. 2. It's your personal choice to stay with this company, but denying the fact, escpecially "I can tell that my management cares for my growth professionally & personally." is completely BS. I personally feel shamed to work for such a company under this Leadership and have a coworker like you.

Thanks for taking the time to leave us your thoughts. I’m glad that you found your colleagues to have a high level of integrity. That matters greatly to us as we trust them to be pro-active and manage their own schedules. I also appreciate that you are angry about the ending of your employment with us. The decision to close our US and Vietnamese operations following its recent acquisition was a difficult one taken only when it became clear that the investment we had agreed to support the software development of the platform was ultimately not forthcoming. Being forced to lose respected and talented members of the team was always going to be painful for a small, close-knit and friendly company like ours, so as I hope you know by now, there was no alternative for a self-funded start-up like ours which has no choice but to live within its means. As a self-funded startup, while it did take longer than we’d have liked to pay the downsized staff their outstanding salaries and benefits, honouring our commitments has led to us keeping in close contact with many of our former development team, and we hope to work with a number of them again later this year. Although the vast majority of the team were very supportive as we worked through these challenges, others were a little less forgiving which of course is their prerogative. As I believe you’ve now come to realise - through us honouring our commitments, we do genuinely care about our team.

Pros

- Great team from all around the world. Although we work from different offices, I'm always learning something new from someone - Flexibility & work-life balance - Opportunities to learn and grow - Founders have always been open to suggestions and new ideas so you can actually make a difference

Cons

- Managing different time zones and your own schedule can be challenging if you're not used to

Thanks for taking the time to leave your comments. I am pleased you have been able to work alongside great colleagues while contributing to the growth of both the business and your career. The issue of time zones does make managing your schedule difficult as you say, but hopefully, as you rightly point out, we do offer the flexibility to manage your own schedule which can be hugely beneficial. If you have any other feedback for me, then please do let me know.

Pros

Genuinely flexible and agile work policy enables me to find the best possible balance between work and family life. Growing business with a diverse range of clients offers the opportunity for an interesting and developing career. Working with a remote global team from a London HQ brings the best of both worlds. The opportunity to get to know great global colleagues through digital means but to also enjoy in-person social activities such as team lunches and riverside runs with colleagues.

Cons

Like many small companies, Convosphere struggles to match the financial benefits available from larger more established businesses.
