The salary is too low, and the favoritism is impossible to ignore.
As much as I appreciated the work, I can’t justify staying somewhere that pays far below market rates.
On top of that, favoritism is a real problem. Certain people consistently get away with doing the bare minimum, while the rest of the team is expected to pick up their slack. That extra workload means our own tasks get pushed aside or don’t get the attention they deserve. And unsurprisingly, the people doing the most work aren’t the ones getting rewarded.
Additionally, the London office has better events and monthly lunches. The US office doesn’t even keep up the snack supply.
