Pros

- Central London office - Product has potential - Some smart people hanging in there - Mental resilience training boot camp for future roles

Cons

I'm posting this today as they have advertised on LinkedIn about having 30 roles open. As a previous review has said reach out to old or current employees on LinkedIn to get a reference check, I wish I had. Before applying please read the points below carefully: - You will be treated poorly - You will witness others being treated poorly - Dictatorial is the management style - You may be hired for your competencies but will have to fight very hard to be listened to - If you run a team, you will spend 70-80% of your team shielding them from leadership - Work life balance is nonexistent, meetings early morning, late at night and also full days at weekends. There will be no appreciation for this or expectation for it to be mutual e.g. you have a doctor/dentist appointment during normal working hours - HR are trying to make changes but are not given the respect from management or power - Staff turnover is through the roof, multiple recent cases of people leaving within 2 weeks - Clarity on the product road map & business plan are lacking - Lack of transparency with customers on the actual functionality of the product - They are fortunate to be in a healthy business position considering covid19 but instead of protecting their loyal staff they used the opportunity to let a group of people go

Pros

I spent 12 years in client services leading key accounts, and have been with Streetbees for the last 3 years. When I first moved from a traditional research company to Streetbees, the change in pace was striking. It's a privilege to get to work with the world's leading brands on key strategic matters. Expectations are high, but it's very rewarding to see the impact we have on the growth of these Fortune 100 companies every day.  The work I do at Streetbees is very different to my previous roles though. I never worked in a tech company before, and I had to learn to do strategic insights differently relying on a high-tech AI product. I love working very closely with the product and engineering teams, which is not something I've experienced before.

Cons

Pace of innovation is fast, therefore there are constantly new products you need to come up to speed with. If you are looking for more of a traditional strategy role, this is probably not the right place. Most of Streetbees team are technical people and you need to be comfortable working with technology in a fast-paced envirnment.
