Pros
- The mission and some of the peers make it a somewhat bearable place to work - The office is dog friendly
Cons
- There aren't any employment perks, apart from their own deals & discounts product, which is a barely functioning discount voucher platform where vouchers don't even get sent to the recipient half of the time - Remuneration is awful. E.g., when the business listed new entry-level roles, they initially wanted to pay the new hires below the London Living Wage, until this was challenged by existing team members - Tech and the tech stack are old. Software architecture doesn't hold together too well and breaches a handful of GDPR articles - Senior leadership always believe they're right. If you validate their opinions, you're in the good books. If you dare to disagree, your confidence will be undermined and you'll be publicly humiliated in front of your peers - You need to be fake if you want to progress your career. There's no mentorship or development because the line management are too busy sucking up to advance their own careers - Fear is constantly used to make you worry about your place in the company and to pressure you to do more and more for less - There's no constructive criticism or growth. Things are kept from you and then thrown out of nowhere as ammunition against e.g. promotions
