Pros

Nice office space Most people HR was great for morale and communication Location

Cons

Micro-management and favouritism is overpowering. You cannot do the job you are actually brought in to do and are bullied by the CEO. Turnover rate was quite high due to this. The office if very quiet as no one is really allowed to collaborate which made it very uncomfortable. Worst company I’ve ever worked for.

Pros

Small organisation with teams that are closely connected and highly engaged with their work and company You work with high performing individuals who also care about wellbeing Leaders show recognition to those who show up for their team members The leaders and organisation demonstrate authentic inclusion and hold themselves accountable for further growth in diversity, equity and inclusion

Cons

Due to the size of the organisation, the structure is quite flat, so while there are efforts to create opportunities for promotion in terms of title and responsibilities, there are natural limitations. This may not be considered a con for everyone, as it also means involvement in high level decisions are more likely

Pros

Depending on who your manager is you can thrive alongside dynamic and intelligent coworkers. In a short time I got to meet practically everyone in the company. I have never met such a huge number of friendly, interested, inclusive and genuine people.

Cons

- Micro-management - Outdated management methods - Favouritism - High turnover - Poorly defined job descriptions - No work life balance (burn out is common) - No business plan
