Pros

Shared workspace with nice people in other offices - All other teams in the company are friendly, happy to chat & inviting.

Cons

Sales Manager & Sales Director severely under qualified to be in their roles. Manager needs managerial training and or experience - is currently an overworked, glorified BDM. Will fire you with no prior warning & false accusations. No onboarding, no training, no incentives to motivate employees, not encouraged to reach out to others in the company. KPIs are 100 Calls a day, 24 Meetings a month and high GP target after your first month. Commission earned only if the deal closes. As a result, expected to come in early, not take lunch & stay late or “you are bad at sales”. Manager works weekends, as late as 11pm out of hours and will call you on your days off. Director referred to his sales team as bricklayers, “wouldn’t leave work if the wall wasn’t built” & adamant there’s no males in sales - No diversity, would not recommend to anyone, was definitely a mistake joining here.

Pros

Have been working at Stripe OLT for 13+ years now. Directors are driven, with clear goals for the business. Staff are important to them as made apparent by very generous policies including pension, holiday schemes and health cover. Regular social events at the Bristol office, including 'Free Food Friday", with a very generous annual summer and Xmas event. New technologies and improvements are always sought making the work interesting and often rewarding.

Cons

Often very busy (but this should be expected for the salary), which can be stressful.

Pros

Began working at StripeOLT on 28/06/22, and from then until now, it’s been an absolute pleasure. There’s a lot of knowledge across many techs—working side by side with the Service Desk and SOC. Anyone from any department can ping each other a message to solve an issue. Not just colleagues, but cherished friends—all truly some of the best and kindest people I've met. Smart troubleshooters by day, then unwinding in the pub after. The directors here are real and understanding—you can speak to them without it ever feeling like you can't. Really, there's a lot of good I could say. We're a good and strong family, and I hope you join. You get what you put in.

Cons

I'll leave that for our one to ones
