Pros

Good pay, good culture and flexibility. Good potential for impact.

Cons

Some parts of the company are very chaotic and not staffed well enough to deliver whats expected. Career growth is slow due to saturation at higher levels.

Pros

1. Lovely, smart and open people. 2. Big investment in facilities and events in the office. 3. People do take time off. 4. Feel like you part of a big tech mission and time spent here is something that we will all be thinking about when old. 5. Multicultural.

Cons

1. No investment in supporting functions like HR, Partner, Sales Strategy, Sales Operations etc etc. These teams are completely overstretched and not able to provide exceptional customer service. 2. No desire to actively develop people to move in the organisation. 3. TOP down decision making approach is very strong, getting stronger everyday. Huge levels of standardisation. Voice of employees is not listened to. 4. Out of promotion pay rises are minimal. 5. Heavy meeting culture, no time to do actual work. 6. Working long hours and back to back is normality. 7. Because people are overworked it leads to them somehow only prioritise immediate tasks vs long term or relationship building activities. 8. Intense. Back to back. Forces only a specific type of personality to thrive. 9. Diversity from a company background - lots of people are hired from the same companies again and again especially within specific roles. This has the risk of inheriting other people's bias.
