Pros

- The management are good at people management. - Compensation and benefits are on par with other companies and in some cases better.

Cons

- No training outside of arranging on your own initiative. - Poor culture, especially when in an office located in London with many other tech companies around. - Stress on engineers/developers to deliver work in their own unpaid time because of a complete lack of agile mobility on product delivery. - No room for personal development - unless you're a manager. - Poor IT equipment and offering. I had to buy multiple cables and things on my own expense just to get connectivity that I need to do my job. - Too many managers and directors and not enough engineers. Managers going into meetings just to be a 'representative' of a team is not efficient use of resources.

Pros

was hired as remote and get to have that honored, but have been openly told no career progression because of remote status. decent pay

Cons

Leadership instability: Seven manager changes during my relatively short tenure. Unrealistic targets: A sales quota set at 1,100% growth (not a typo). Slow product development: Getting anything actioned on the product side takes far too long. Product management turnover: Three product manager changes, resulting in no meaningful deliverables in over three years. Misaligned hiring priorities: Greater emphasis on DEI optics than on hiring people positioned to drive growth. Internal vs. customer focus: More energy spent on internal events than on product enhancements. Lack of accountability (the biggest issue): No one takes ownership. Responsibility gets passed around constantly — for example, client cancellations going unprocessed because they impact someone's numbers. Managers have openly encouraged pushing the work onto someone else rather than handling it.
