Pros

- Good tech stack -Nice year end party

Cons

- The company lost it's forward thinking managers to larger organizations. What remains is a management culture that often feels disconnected from technical teams and are resistant to change. - Many leaders rely on outdated approaches which is negatively impacting the company's growth and direction - Several capable employees with leadership potentials were pushed out because they were viewed as a threat to existing management. - Team culture has also declined significantly. What was once a collaborative environment has become divisive with employees encouraged to compete against one another rather than work together - To address leadership gaps, the company promoted individuals to management roles who were previously considered unprepared for such responsibilities. - Although multiple reorg have been done recently, many of the same ineffective managers were simply reassigned between teams rather than the underlying issues being resolved

Pros

Genuinely one of the best companies I’ve worked for. The culture is a standout and comes from the top. The company is privately owned and the founder is still involved, which you can really feel in how people are treated day to day. There’s a strong sense that employees are valued, not just in words but in how the business operates. The people are incredibly smart, collaborative, and supportive. Across teams, there’s a shared focus on getting things done well, and compared to other large organisations I’ve worked in, the level of structure and organisation is very good. Processes aren’t perfect, but they are clear enough to enable you to do your job effectively, which makes a big difference. I learned a huge amount during my time here and it had a very positive impact on my career. It’s a strong player in its space, with a clear proposition and talented teams behind it. Leadership is another highlight. Managers strike a good balance between driving performance and supporting their teams. My own experience with leadership was very positive, with a lot of encouragement, trust, and clear direction. The company also invests in culture in a meaningful way. The annual sales and marketing trips are genuinely exceptional and a great example of how the company recognises and rewards its people. Overall, it was a great place to work and one I look back on very positively.

Cons

Salary increases outside of the standard annual review can be difficult to secure, even for strong performance. While annual increases are provided in line with company-wide adjustments, progression beyond this may require persistence. Career progression opportunities are available across the company, but they can vary depending on team structure, department, and region. In some cases, advancement may take longer than expected.
