Pros

Bright people working on very interesting technical challenges. Really feels like we are pushing the boundaries and the trajectory of the business is very good. Being in a hyper growth company is exciting, lots of change, lots of energy and the new execs they brought in have really improved things. Culture is open, very collaborative. The York office is gorgeous, right next to the river in an old warehouse building. It definitely feels a bit like a trendy silicon valley company which you don't expect in yorkshire. Pay is very good for the area.

Cons

We have growing pains as you'd expect; a bunch of the technology needs redeveloping and there are some out-dated processes which are being re-imagined at the moment. There is a lot of change due to the fast growth which can make it a bit chaotic sometimes (but I kinda like that).

Pros

One thing I genuinely appreciated was that the C-suite seemed invested in keeping everyone in the loop. The monthly town halls felt like more than just a formality and gave you a real sense of where the company was headed. When you had a good stretch, people noticed. The company feels like it has real momentum and on a macro level.

Cons

Leadership was inconsistent in my experience and seemed to depend heavily on which manager you ended up with. It often felt like luck of the draw. I personally found the planning process to be more reactive than strategic, with urgency only kicking in once results were already suffering rather than getting ahead of it. The workplace culture also had a gossip element that I found draining over time. My biggest frustration was around performance recognition. I observed situations where reported numbers didn't seem to reflect reality, yet the consequences appeared minimal at best. I would have liked to see more transparency and accountability around how top performers were identified and rewarded, because in my experience the current approach didn't always feel equitable to those who were playing by the rules.
