Ventajas

The staff working for Pod Point are all incredible and hard-working people. There is excellent comradery across all business units and no egos to compete with.

Desventajas

Upper management has recently made many high-level changes across the company, including a confusing restructuring that has led to many business functions being outsourced. From joining to leaving, the business has gone from having a vision of internal excellence and external progress to only caring about short-term financial goals. The worry about share price and investors has led to a change in management and, a year later, to a reduction in workforce and an increase in external contractors and third-party companies taking on the roles instead of internal training and or clear communication to what is needed from the current staff. There is a severe divide between what the management of Pod Point believes is important for the business and what the staff working there believe is important.

Ventajas

- The dynamic in the business is very positive, enthusiastic and caring. - Despite a tough market to work in at the moment, the SLT are working together well and facing this challenge head on, rather than burying their heads in the sand. They have a clear vision. I have confidence in their plans. - Pod (Point) are very adaptable and eager to change and improve, refreshingly more so than any prior company I've worked for (due to hierarchy and bureaucracy). Company-wide improved agile ways of working shouldn't be understated. - Managers are open and approachable. - Remote working approach is very productive, both for solo work and remote meetings, and this provides a great work/life balance by avoiding commuting, and providing convenience. - The work and projects are interesting and varied. - A great brand and product business to be associated with. - There have been promotion and development opportunities, and internal development/investment in individuals.

Desventajas

- Due to financial & market pressures (and possibly having grown the business a bit too quickly in the past), there have been rounds of redundancies over the last 2 years. This appears to have been essential in order to protect the business and ultimately others' jobs in the process. This has obviously impacted morale and confidence as you'd expect, but the business has focussed well on the recovery from this. - Individual training budgets have been very tight for a long period of time. The cost of not investing in the training of staff could be greater than the cost of doing so. - The benefits package is quite basic and is more generous elsewhere.

Hi there, Dean here from the People Team. I just wanted to say thank you for such an honest insight into all things Pod related over the past couple of years. It's really good to see that, despite the changes, your positive outlook for the business matches the energy those changes were set to bring! I hear you on the development and benefits points that are raised, and do want to give you some confidence that we are working on a number of projects to support this in the team. If you wanted to find out some more about this, please do slack me directly and we can pick up a conversation. All the best!
