I look forward to going to work - Director Merlin International Employee Review

Impact. Given Merlin is not the biggest company, every employee truly makes a difference to the bottom line, which is nice to know your work matters. If you want, you get to see the end to end business. It's a pretty flat organization, and people are informal so you have easy access to leadership without numerous levels in between, should you want it. Company is nimble / flexible / creative - a very nice switch up if you've come from a big company. The office is pretty close to brand new / very nice, for whenever COVID ends.

Everybody's impact at Merlin matters and some people prefer a job where they can just coast. As a maturing company, we are still fine tuning processes, which again some people might not be comfortable with but it is clearly the path to a more sophisticated organization overall.

Talented employees – There are hardworking and skilled individuals who manage to keep things running despite ongoing challenges. Industry potential – If the company establishes and follows a clear strategy, there could be long-term success. * Occasional perks – Small benefits like free coffee are one of the more consistent aspects of the workplace.

Lack of transparency on compensation – Commission structures and sales compensation plans are unclear, frequently changing, and often not communicated effectively. This leads to frustration and uncertainty among the sales team. * Frequent strategy shifts – The company undergoes major strategic changes every year, making it difficult for employees, customers, and even leadership to keep up. A long-term vision is needed to provide stability. * Workplace culture concerns – There is a culture of internal competition rather than collaboration. Teamwork could be improved with clearer communication and accountability. * Unstructured work environment – Reporting structures, job roles, and processes lack clarity, making it difficult for employees to understand their responsibilities. Leadership decisions often feel reactive rather than strategic.
