Pros
- Meaningful work - Lovely colleagues - Work/life balance - Supportive culture
Cons
- Disconnect between management (especially CEO) and the realities of the work - Under-costing of projects, the pressures of which lands on the team doing the actual work - A lot of talking the talk without walking the walk - Mass redundancy came out of the blue (Portable was actively hiring right up until the redundancies were made) and affected people who were arguably best placed to take the company in the right direction. This implies questionable management decisions but all the blame was placed on “the market” with no accountability at management level - The response to redundancy seemed to focus primarily on PR as opposed to those affected - Limited opportunities for career advancement - Below market salary (at least for Senior level and below)
