      Pros

      • Great CEO • Solid tech stack, compared to many other places in the tech industry • Continous learning • Very tech driven company

      Cons

      • No sense of team in that you very rarely go for lunch together, it’s very much an individual thing • Some old timers who’ve been their for a long time indoctrinate their team with archaic ways of working and are not open to change • A lot of team politics going on which is not the best thing to be honest • The tech team management structure is very corporate and hierarchical so you know your place on the food chain • A lot of people who’ve been there for a while are leaving

      Pros

      Great work life balance and vacation time....

      Cons

      Many internal issues and felt like this last round of layoffs was to protect inadequate leaders vs hardworking employees. I understand companies do layoffs but this just felt like Senior management trying to protect themselves because they aren't doing an effective job. I really think there are some issues with the leadership team and it probably needs an overhaul. There was never any strategy from product outside of one small area. The rest of the business was left without any guidance or support. I really think the US/UK shared services model does not work. The UK and US just are entirely different markets and the UK at the end of the day doesn't really care about the US nor move as quickly.
