Pros
-Good top and mid-level hires trying to bring a positive change with substantial experience under their belt. -Customer centric approach which helps you develop a sense of care for your customers - something that will always be helpful no matter which field you get in -If you prove your worth, you can get a lot of autonomy and ownership of projects -If you are looking to stay for long term, stock options for employees -Get to travel is you are part of the London team
Cons
-Compensation is not competitive at all, more so, there is no process to determine what level of compensation everyone should be at or how much compensation increase a person deserves, it is completely at the whims and fancies of your leader. You will have to continually ask for compensation to be increased, and even then they will not be able to match market salaries. Very negative aspect is that the management tries to push the stock options and continue to ignore that this will not keep the younger employees in the company. -The few “elite” that joined the company early on have a lot of power without having any actual experience. Although not all of them are a problem, a lot of them continue to move around teams without having a solid output. If something similar is done by any other employee, they are fired. -No strategy for employee career paths, only the “elite” or their friends continue to get promotions while others continue to work hard without any recognition. -Employees use the value “Say it as it is” to be rude to each other. When done by the “elite”, it is applauded, when done by others, they are struck down. -Unhealthy emphasis on working late hours, almost like the “elite” applaud those working 10-12 hours and looking down on those who have a life outside the company.
