Pros

- Colleagues are entrepreneurial and very smart. Meaning you’re surrounded by very talented individuals - The work is interesting, exciting and fast moving - The app and service is great as a consumer, so you’re working for a company whose product you really believe in and advocate for - Very fast pace of learning

Cons

- Work / Life balance isn’t something leadership particularly care to improve despite acknowledging its the biggest piece of feedback they get from the teams - Leadership style in the UK is more by criticism than reward - Often changing goalposts and direction from Leadership which puts teams under strain - A lack of support structure for new employees - little focus on inductions and no space or time granted for people to get up to speed

Pros

The company is presented as a young and dynamic environment, at least from an external communication point of view.

Cons

Unfortunately, the internal reality is very different. Career progression mainly favors people who are close to management or who know how to please the right individuals, while meritocracy clearly comes second. Losing valuable employees does not seem to concern upper management at all. Many department heads lack experience and competence, which leads to constant issues, misunderstandings, and organizational problems that directly impact daily work and team morale. The company promotes itself as “young and dynamic,” yet hires employees over 60 whose experience does not appear to be properly assessed or effectively leveraged, creating a strong inconsistency between image and reality. Salaries are not competitive compared to the market. Salary increases and bonuses are very low and demotivating. Benefits are either almost non-existent or purely symbolic.
