Pros

- Free food on Fridays - Socials which are quite basic - Test out recipes in the kitchen - That's about it

Cons

- Unprofessional environment - Marketing team is like an old boys club - People get pushed out of a job if you don't "fit in" - Company often gets rid of staff before the 6 month probation period is up. - Management are more concerned about making money than creating a business where people enjoy working. - Office is cramped and gloomy. - Location is in the middle of nowhere. - No pension - Gym membership after a year is at the cheapest gym in the area. - Most of the positive reviews on Glassdoor are obviously written my management. - AVOID

Pros

• A growing focus on quality rather than speed, even from senior leaders • A growing focus on AI, with engineers empowered to experiment and explore • An environment where things get done, yet people aren't expected to work long hours • A healthy focus on data, without requiring every decision to have mountains of evidence

Cons

• Can over-index towards high-confidence plans and timelines, rather than high quality decisions • Team changes are too regular - the value of a stable team that rotates through problems isn't understood

Pros

Great working culture, wonderful colleagues

Cons

Sporadic support in terms of ways of working and the tech stack. No bonus. Underwhelming increases.
