Mix of good and bad leadership

Pros

Great product, wider company culture is good.

Cons

The sales and London office culture is practically non-existent, even somewhat negative for a large scale company, doesn't match the wider company culture. Pretty cut-throat. Is ideal if you are more tenured. As an SE here, technical understanding is really not important which I think will hurt long term. Is more about how well you can establish relations with leadership and memorising product marketing information.

Thank you for sharing your honest feedback. We’re glad you valued the product and the broader company culture during your time here. We’re sorry to hear that your experience within the Sales and London office environment felt misaligned with that. We appreciate you sharing your perspective on leadership dynamics and the balance between technical depth and relationship-building in the SE role. Input like this helps us better understand how experiences can differ across teams and locations. Wishing you all the best in your next chapter.
