Pros

- Access to incredible clients - flexible working (to an extent) - Fully remote - Growing fast with really impressive projects - Fantastic equipment provided

Cons

This is by far, the most toxic working environment I have ever been involved with. Every aspect of the company is micromanaged by a boss who cannot let go of any control and refuses to accept any form of feedback or suggestion. Surrounded by a team of yes men who are too afraid to say no to anything he suggests. It is normal behaviour to call out and shout at staff publicly in front of the entire company within online comms but don’t you dare ever complain or attempt to change a procedure to make things easier. It is absolutely no surprise to me that since leaving, I am aware that the vast majority of the team I worked with have also now left. This company has such potential and is smashing it in terms of its clients and growth. But there’s a reason they are always advertising for staff…and it’s not because of the growth.
