Pros & Cons

  • Get to try out vastly different projects fairly regularly. Won't get stuck on one language/tech stack.
  • The breadth of tasks that I am exposed to and able to have a say in what I complete. I'm able to partake in activities that I enjoy with a diverse and friendly team. I'm able to form personal and professional relationships easily within my team and Empired.
  • Flexible working arrangements, great and friendly staff, great team dynamic.
  • Get to work on a variety of different projects at different clients. I think its a very good way to quickly understand the industry and in tern figure out what you value at the work place versus just working at one company for a few years.
  • As a Grad, it's hard to be trusted to work autonomously, however Empired have trusted and encouraged me to get client facing fast and independently. On top of having faith in my capabilities and offering the opportunity to prove myself, the working environment has been flexible and allowed me to maintain a great work life balance.
  • We are dependent on the projects available in our space, so we are placed in different roles instead (i.e. support roles instead of project roles). This time frame is for an extended period of time.
  • Short projects. More work than people. Understaffed projects.
  • Often the teams you work with change quite dramatically, would be nicer if there was some consistency to some team members where possible.
  • Not everyone will be a fan of hot-desking, whilst it isn't a negative for myself, but some may not enjoy it as much.

Career Prospects
Generally perform well and get good feedback from the client and you'll move up the ranks. Graduate -> Associate seems automatic with it happening earlier depending on performance. Associate -> Consultant requires around 3years experience. From there to senior is different however requires a lot more stringent requirements.

Culture
Very comfortable to work, can reach out to superiors without hesitating, most people are ready to help when asked. After hour culture is great too - most of us sit around and talk on Friday evenings, social events are organised, Friday dinner with friends from the company.

Diversity

Diversity
Very open and inclusive. As a POC, I feel like I can say this with authority as I felt very welcome and comfortable. Never been made to feel different. What's great is that everyone insists on calling me by my actual name and not a shortened, easier version of it even if I say it's ok for them to call me by my nickname. I've noticed that almost everyone with a seemingly difficult name are called by that name and not by shortened nicknames.

Satisfaction

Satisfaction
Standup figure out any tasks and blockers and get to work, typical software dev responsibilities. Constantly learning something new, if I'm stuck there are seniors that I can reach out to.

Management

Management
My manager has been fantastic so far, genuine and understanding. Able to provide mentorship and insight from their own expertise, both technically and in more of a project management/client relations sense. Engages in regular communication without impacting my independence in my work.

Office Work Environment

Office Work Environment
Office location is great, internal space is appropriate for the number of employees. No strict dress code - can be as casual or formal as you want. However, some unspoken rules regarding dressing while meeting clients still need to be followed but it depends on the nature of the client as well. No strict dress code to come into the office.

Recruitment

Recruitment
I joined via the graduate program, which consisted of. Sending my resume. An offline video questionnaire. Coding Challenge. Assessment Day. Interview The first three were fairly standard, the assessment day was interesting we were given a task of improving the Empired website as a group and then a short speech on our findings to the group. I liked how it actually involved the real Empired website and could see it being something you work on at the company.
