Pros

Cool office space with a games room, lots of social events, lots of free snacks etc and good compensation.

Cons

Management all over the place, feeling of instability in your role (most employees felt/feel this way) and as a result, high turnover of employees. Major competitor is now way ahead in the market, partially down to rigid views and a lot of procrastination to actually make things happen. A lot of backtracking in the general direction of the company and a resources need to be far better utilised. Great when starting up, morale now low and not enough energy or presence from Founders. Work is never ending so depends on how committed you are to a work -life balance vs. feeling confident to leave your desk with unfinished work.

Pros

- Cut edge technologies (cassandra/golang/protobufs/NSQ/etc) - Smart people - Good "eventual" decision making, finally they got rid of the weakest links in the company (CTO and ever-grumpy developers)

Cons

- Very well funded competitor that is just buying the market - Slow and hesitant decision making on the highest levels (board/etc)

Pros

None that I can think of... Great location to work from (Somerset House). Great views to the Thames. Good amenities around the office.

Cons

Unapproachable, arrogant managers. They ask for your opinion but they don't really want to listen. Non-technical CTO. Grandiose delusions,for sure. Uber copy-cat. Yet, a failing business.
