Good company to work for!

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Multiple benefits (flexibility, discounts etc) Various events all year Office location in central London Great staff screening and charity events Free coffees and multiple perks

Cons

Career stagnation, no way to progress and they rather hire external candidates from big competitors than promoting internal staff. Low salaries. No bonus below manager level. Opportunities seem to happen a lot in the US. It’s all about who you know otherwise you’ll never progress even being there for a few years!

Great content but lack of autonomy

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

An exciting business with great products that you can get passionate about

Cons

There is a severe lack of trust to middle management whereby the people who are hired and paid to make decisions, sometimes fairly trivial ones are not given the authority to do so. The result is that this role was sometimes boring and more of an admin job than a manager

Pros

A big effort is made on fringe benefits like free coffee fun stuff to do for healthy week digifest to engage with new tech.

Cons

The more senior you are the less likely you are to have any time to engage beyond your day job. There is a culture of creating jobs around people not business so be prepared to politic if you want to rise. Flexibility really does depend on where you are in the organisation too.
