Pros

- fun culture - effort to be a relaxed and open place to work - open communication between teams - good benefits - generally listens to employee feedback from most levels

Cons

- not always great progression opportunities- same people being promoted quite often - sometimes petty politics over opportunities and team projects / lack of trust - lack of experienced leadership. Senior staff in head of department roles are generally junior people who were promoted up the company - occasionally, situations where there’s one rule/expectation for some employees but not the others - the brand isn’t established enough in the market

Pros

Great office space People are great Company trips and meals Unlimited Vacation time

Cons

When I took the job I was told of all these wonders and accomplishments and that there was room for growth .. this was a lie Micro-managed at various levels Pay was low compared to jobs of same spec Due to scale of the company there was no option for career growth Unstable firm as redundancies and lay-offs where made due to bad management from the executive board It’s pretty clear they are looking for a bigger company to buy them.
