Not worth your time - Software Engineer Spendesk Employee Review

- Collaborative workplace - Great culture in London office - Product development roadmap + profitable - Fantastic benefits (pension + dental cover + private health cover + transportation reimbursement) - Diverse and multicultural - Intense, but fantastic onboarding

- 4 days in the office, could be 3 instead. - Fast paced environment, not for everyone

The only advantage I can see now after 3 years in this company, is the amazing and talented team I am working with (remotely).

Spendesk's culture used to be 1000x better before the change in the top-level management. Now, the focus is entirely on performance at any cost, with no consideration for employee well-being, even when it has been raised so many times. There is no clear direction, no real strategy, and no sense of real prioritization, just a lot of pressure. Everything feels chaotic, urgent and directionless. The push to add AI everywhere feels like a buzzwork obsession than a meaningful direction, especially that there are way more pressing issues being ignored. Leadership is more ego-driven than competent, instead of encouraging collaboration and team spirit, they tend to foster rivalry and unnecessary competition between teams. And what used to be a key benefit (flexibility and trust) has completely disappeared. We're now forced into the office 4 days a week.
