Pros

Flexible part-time working hours, friendly colleagues, fairly relaxed working environment. Good pay to start with.

Cons

People are pidgeon-holed into their roles, and have little knowledge / motivation to develop outside them. A lot of micro-management and very questionable business decisions. Fairly low pay once you gain some experience and tense atmosphere sometimes. Some people who have key roles in the company seem to have no idea what they are doing. Recruitment is done extremely poorly - there is no dedicated person to handle recruitment, and very little effort is being put into it, which results in low quality candidates getting the jobs and high staff turnover. The work is very repetitive and there is almost no scope to take initiative and do more.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review at Sumdog. We appreciate the feedback we get from all current and former employees. We are sorry that you would not recommend Sumdog as an employer. Alongside exit interviews and Glassdoor reviews we are placing more emphasis on the feedback we receive internally from our current staff through pulse surveys. I hope this means we can solve issues quicker and before it impacts our current employees enjoyment at work. Thank you again for taking the time to leave this review.
