Pros & Cons

  • At Prosple, we are disruptors with a vision to help students find their dream job. It is both rewarding and challenging working for such an organisation, and seems to be a new innovation each week. Our organisational structure is quite flat, with each team member having a direct line to our Founders and Directors.
  • Having a high-performing team committed to our cause, with the freedom to do your best work without bureaucracy and people getting in your way.
  • Love that the ownership knows well where their priorities lie, that they don't succumb to the toxic "everything is a priority" trap that a huge majority of companies fall into. This has kept the company hyper focused, allowing it to achieve milestones one after the other, even amidst the pandemic. Also, borrowing from the book "Conscious Capitalism", Prosple has all the markings of a conscious company.
  • 100% remote work, flexible working hours, easy to interact with leaders and owners, possibility to suggest features to the product, participate along with leaders in the decisions, work on a product that actually helps others.
  • Superb company culture. High standards. Responsive to their employees needs and gives high importance to open communication. Prosple has a heart for all its clients and its team.
  • The people. I love that I get to work with our intelligent, free-thinking team. Everyone has their own expertise and ideas, which helps me learn new things every day.
  • There can be some late nights during peak seasons from increased workloads.
  • Very occasionally, the sheer pace of Prosple's progress and growth can be fatiguing. Which is actually a positive if you're in the right mindset and have the right skills and attitude to embrace it.
  • Due to the nature of work (100% remote), it is difficult to get to know everyone
  • Work life balance can be challenging when everyone is such a high performer and expectations are high
  • Sometimes I had a hard time on looking for resources to use to do my job.
  • I'm based in a time zone that doesn't line up well with where most of our business takes place (currently), so there are plenty of early mornings!

Career Prospects
There's a clear career path for each type of team member, defined by KPIs and evaluated during annual reviews. Everyone's free to propose new projects or business ideas, and if they get buy-in from management, are free to pursue them. Everyone's partly a business analyst in that sense.

Corporate Social Responsibility

Corporate Social Responsibility
We recently launched platforms dedicated to helping students from diverse backgrounds (e.g. Indigenous, LGBTIA+, Disability, Gender) find employers committed to these students. We ran the first ever National Indigenous Careers fair, and National Disability careers fair. We are continually looking to make education and career pathways more accessible for people no matter their background- and we take our commitment here quite seriously.

Culture
9.3
Culture
We have a great team culture at Prosple. We keep communication open across all teams, and everyone has the ability to have their say. We all work remotely, so team bonding can be a bit tricker than with most organisations - but as a result, we speak with global colleagues daily and host regular virtual games nights (e.g. Settlers of Catan) and team drinks.

Diversity
8.9
Diversity
Prosple is diverse in every sense of the word. It has men and women from all over the world working together. It doesn't have any diversity quotas or otherwise. It tends to naturally be diverse by virtue of hiring worldwide, provided they're good at what they do and are passionate to be doing it.

Satisfaction

Satisfaction
I couldn't really ask for a better role. If there's something I don't like about my role or the business, it's within my scope to change it.

Management

Management
Management is always willing to hear ideas. Internal communication is done through a ticketing system, Slack and email. If you need to talk with anyone in depth, popping a Zoom invite into their calendar is easy. It feels like all communication is streamlined without feeling constricting or like you're missing something.

Office Work Environment
There's no physical office since all are working remotely. We are free to work with casual attire and encouraged to wear semi-formal ones during meetings/catch-ups.

Recruitment

Recruitment
As part of the recruitment process, you get to meet people from across your future team in a one-on-one situation - which does remove some of the stress. We also are big on case studies as part of the recruitment testing.

Salary
Whatever your driver/motivation is, the remuneration structure meets that need. Personally I am very happy. Performance = strong remuneration.

Training

Training
I didn't receive a 'training programme' per se. It was more like I was given increasingly difficult tasks, showed them to my team leader as I figured out how to complete, and then iterated based on feedback. This style of learning isn't for everyone, but I've found it ideal for me. So in that sense the formal training isn't good, but the informal training is very good.

Work Hours
As flexible as can be, we have a culture of freedom and responsibility and so delivery and outcomes surpass the work hours themselves. This means sometimes you work more hours and others less.

Sustainability

Sustainability
Remote working by itself has environmental benefits. But I guess we can still actively come up with initiatives.
