Home Office reviews

There would be a LOT to say but I will keep it simple Working at Metro Point you'll have to accept: - No Working culture - Very messy and inefficient codebase. - Lack of understanding of industry standards - Misuse of thecnologies - Poor hygiene of the office, especially kitchen and Loos - Poor business organisation and separation of concerns. You will have to fix other teams issues in codebase you do not maintain - ALL the Software Engineering principles are violated - No real Agile process present(it is considered useless). Managers advertise they use Kanban without knowing what Kanban is nor what is Agile! - You won't have any chance to have your say nor you can propose improvements Final considerations: I strongly suggest to avoid this workplace if you don't want your professional profile to degrade as it will cost you more than you would earn working there I can truly say that, working there, I have touched the bottom! Seriously!

Policies are made by nameless people who don't do the job (no-one can ever pinpoint exactly where a message came from), and these policies will make things harder for the staff and customers, and people just shrug and get on with it, because if you try and challenge things, no-one listens. The apathy in the place is really depressing. Senior managers make policies because they need to show that they can 'deliver at pace' or make effective changes in order to progress to the next level of management, but more often than not, it makes things worse. People come to work, switch off their initiative, follow unqualified managers and pointless policies, sometimes complaining about those things but they won't do anything about it. This is just the nature of the job. It's funny because when new people start, the current staff joke about how they are so optimistic, and within about a year, their spirit is crushed to the point that they just accept it for what it is and get on with it, or they leave. Also there are very few opportunities for progression.
