      Pros

      Great enviroment, great culture and good benefits. It's a company where you're encouraged to grow and develop. Moving into a different role or trying something new is encouraged.

      Cons

      I genuinely can't see any cons.

      Fantastic

      Pros

      SB has a great culture (there's a reason it won best company 2 years in a row), management who value individuality and authenticity, an environment where you are empowered and can grow fast if you have potential, in a fast changing, dynamic and successful business and a cheeky sense of fun. The office is lively, modern and staff are friendly and politics kept to a minimum.

      Cons

      Historically, the breakneck focus on growth has led to sub-optimal processes (many of which are deeply embedded) but these are being addressed. Hiring plans and budgets not always able to keep up with growth expectations. The company lives and breathes the Build Measure Learn philosophy which means that everything the company does makes sense but can sometimes lead to a focus on optimisation rather than innovation.
