Don’t take the risk if you have a decent and secure job it’s cut throat - Anonymous employee Sosandar Employee Review

Left an excellent company and role to take on what felt like an exciting role here which was well paid - much more than I had previously, had 4 interviews over a period of 6 months including one with one of the owners so they were well informed of my experience, understanding of the brand and the ability to take on the role. I spent several months setting up new processes, working on projects outside of my job role and utilising all the experience that I had been hired to bring to the company with plenty of praise along the way from my direct line manager and peers. After a couple of months I was told out of the blue the owners didn’t feel I was ‘the right fit’ and my contract was terminated with 1 weeks notice (it’s a 6 month probationary period here which is much longer than the norm of 3 months I’ve had in every other role). I had no formal conversations, the decision was completely unexpected (and probably quite close to them having to pay a recruiters fee). The owners are involved in everything and if your ideas and experience don’t mirror their opinions you are abruptly cut down and made to feel inadequate. Do not leave a secure job to take a newly created role here!! I was left with serious financial difficulties due to how my role was handled which I am still struggling to get through.
