Pros

Madgex has a culture that is above and beyond the standard. Everyone is genuine and happy to help the team. The perks are so long that I can't list them all as it would take so long! However, to name a few: True flexi-time (not just mentioned at interview but then never allowed) Health and well-being (free yoga classes, quarterly massages, free weekly lunch, private health initiative + Perkbox, new standing desks) Training and development (regular internal/external)

Cons

Hard to find one, as any improvement suggested is always thoroughly looked at and actioned to improve.

Pros

Great product, great bunch of people to work with. Everyone is encouraged to be themselves. A lot of people want to do better for their colleagues and clients. Being acquired by Wiley was really for the good of the company, as there was no such thing as even a performance review before. Make the most of this opportunity.

Cons

The managements doesn’t show great care for their employees. Entire teams can go unnoticed and unsupervised. Some people made their way to the top with terrible management skills and it can make the experience painful for someone that cares. Pre-acquisition, it really felt like your performance would in no way impact your salary, career opportunities or how you would be recognised.

Pros

- Good employee benefits such as travel discount - Modern office space with the option to have things like a standing desk - They try to promote a good company culture - Some flexible working and WFH available

Cons

- I noticed that most people were overworked and stressed across all departments, not just the dev team. There was a high staff turnover because of this so my team changed project managers 3 times in 1 year. - The way they reward employees for going "above and beyond" is unfair - it's purely based on number of Kudos received in the HR system over a period of time. I won one of these awards not long after I joined the company when my teammates, who had worked there a lot longer and far harder than I had, were the ones who deserved it, not me. - My performance reviews were done by a senior developer who was so busy he never had time to check in with me and see what I was doing, so I didn't find it helpful. Occasionally I had a review with my project manager who didn't care about my career progression and when I asked for extra training I was refused it or my request was ignored.
