Pros

Talent is good by the standards of a London startup, the work is very self-led and there is a lot of operating freedom.

Cons

Still no clear overall direction or business plan that I could see. One point re:options. Granted face value is EXTREMELY low by startup standards, make sure to build this into your total compensation calc. Also, unless something has changed, management will claw back all your vested options if you leave <3 years by classifying you as a bad leaver. Whilst they are legally allowed to do this, it is extremely underhanded and makes a mockery of the actual vesting schedule. Make sure you calculate your compensation very carefully.

Pros

great people, great product. all around a really wonderful place to work.

Cons

As with most start-ups, there are a lot of changes happening, and information can sit in many different places so sometimes it’s hard to know where to look.

Pros

Starting pay and commission are good but rarely change for the better.

Cons

The vision for the company is good but in most cases, it is just that. Out of touch C-suite.
