Pros

People are really nice when the CEO is not around. Totally different vibe than when is at the office.

Cons

I've work for so many different companies in New Zealand but I have NEVER EVER had such a bad experience as in ezyvet. The CEO is the BIG PROBLEM in there! Everybody is super scared of him. You never know what mood he will be at work and depending on that you can have a good day or the most horrible day in your life. Seriously, I don't understand why people are still working there. Salaries are very low and is very difficult to have a career in there! I will advise EVERYBODY not to work in there, it is a horrible atmosphere when the CEO is around! The positives reviews that are on Glassdor are only there because the CEO has requested some of the staff to write something good about the company NOT because people really enjoy working in there. The HR person should really do her job and advise him better on what to do and how to treat people!

We reckon (and we discussed this as a bit of a mini team) that if you really care about what this person wrote - give us a call. Phone our helpdesk. If you wanna talk to a developer or implementer or anyone we are sure you will have a chat and learn this review is not representative of ezyVet. ezyVet cannot control the random people placing reviews - but what ezyVet can do is answer the phone so call us and call this review out on its comments!!

Pros

The product has merit and some of the team are friendly.

Cons

While the company might seem attractive at first, there are a lot of issues just under the surface. I would describe the culture as the worst I have ever seen, resulting in an incredibly high staff turnover. I encourage anyone considering a job here to independently seek out and discuss with former employees of ezyVet. This should be easy to track down via LinkedIn. The blame lies squarely with the owner, Hadleigh Bognuda. Employees are undermined, questioned, berated, and ignored. This is a shame, as I saw a number of excellent employees bullied into leaving. I question the validity of the 5 star reviews here. Note that they are all 5 stars, are all from current employees, all use similar phrasing, and 5 of them written within the same 4 day period. No matter how attractive the job or salary might appear at first, I strongly advise against working here. You will soon join a long and growing list of unhappy ex-employees.

This doesn’t seem an accurate account of what happens at ezyVet. Of course, we have had some attrition in our journey, mainly in the early days, as we are a high-growth global start up. But overall, we have very good retention and a great business that’s doing well on a global scale. We work hard which has led to our success but we also have fun. We’ve grown a cutting-edge product and the careers of our people have grown with it. Our offices in London, Dallas and Auckland are always open and brimming with happy busy people - drop in and check it out anytime. We would be happy to discuss with anyone and introduce them to current or past employees – or they can locate them on linked in because frankly we see this post as a radical view from someone who seems upset – we would welcome them to come forward and discuss their concerns with us. ezyVet People & Culture team

Pros

I was really sold on the idea of ezyVet when I was told of their phenomenal growth in sales - 800% within a year with the major markets being Australia and the US. Their product boast some great features, such as being cloud based, the basic features were pretty intuitive, an attractive interface, new functions being constantly rolled out, and some excellent support staff. And thats all before we get to the 'work perks' of ezyVet - international travel, free lunch provided in the office, and the opportunity to really grow within the company as it grows.

Cons

I've worked with several start ups and their CEOs in different capacities and one thing I've learnt is that having the brilliant capability to build up a company can often lead to one being slightly egotistical and blind to reason. With ezyVet, I saw a company small enough to really put our heads together and build a culture which would both enable growth (not only in sales but the team as well). This was definitely restricted by the CEO who I believe was ready to bury any internal issues before addressing them. While I was working there, I saw 4 of the 5 people I started with fired or quit under the 90 day trial and 3 or 4 of the Permanent Implementation team members (which was very small to begin with) leave or express that they were planning too I believe the issue in retaining staff, in the implementation team at least, was down to a lot of different little - and mostly manageable issues - combining to make one big issue. To summarise, these were the biggys - We were provided free lunches - sounds great but we were only provided a 30 minute lunch break in the middle of a 9 hour day and I believe this was really a ploy to create a culture of not being able to take time for yourself at lunch - Hours were 8.30 till 5.30 which would be fine but we have very hectic work loads and with only a half hour lunch break where no one left the office, the last half hour was exhausting - When travelling, often long hours of work in the office and travel from city to city with no over time paid. Given a day in lieu for long haul travel though if flying to US etc - Long hours, basic salary of 50k to start and after consulting other members of staff, not huge jump in salary after review (5k typically) - I know its a start up but we are giving a lot of our time to the company and essentially were not getting much back for the time we were giving to the company - Commission dependant on a happy review - this seems like it should be fair enough but this is a developing software which had glitches from new releases and features that still needed to be developed which would often disgruntle clients. This was out of our control and yet our pay was dependent on - Severe lack in support / training when learning how to configure the site. My first implementation, I was going in virtually blind or constantly asking someone what to do. This wasn't fair on me or my client or received inadequate service because I just didn't know what i was doing. I gave it my all but as a result did not receive the commission I really should've received after all the time and effort I put into my work and trying to do the best I could
