Pros
Really lovely young team, a quiet office and very relaxed atmosphere. Everyone works well together. Fair wages and flexible working - working from home is just accepted and never questioned (as long as the work is done, which is fair). Good location with transport links.
Cons
From the start I was treated like I was there for the long term (asked after the first interview to make sure I really wanted it which I did, asked to change my Linkedin to feature the company, given share options, given business cards on the first day) then it all came to a very abrupt end. I was let go before the end of my probation period without a reason, two days after being handed papers to sign up to shares in the company. Excuses given and comparison to previous employees in the same role unfairly made. I had done everything they has asked of me, attended networking events and I was achieving excellent results, so there was no reason to let me go. It sounds like others in my role were treated the same way. I'd never have left a permanent job to work there if I knew I'd be there less than 3 months. If you are applying for a role and it's not to be a coder, really think twice! The company relies on money from investors, and the CEO can't justify something he doesn't understand.
