Pros

- Some cool and helpful people - Disneyland was fun - Didn't do any work for 3 months - Free 2 week trip to Geneva - 10-4 working hours

Cons

- The onboarding was unbelievably boring - The job gave me depression (only found out after leaving) - The new CEO tries to hard and gives off that annoying American enthusiasm - Work has to go through so many hoops and checks to get signed off - So many processes and documentation to check that I didn't have enough time to do work itself - some annoying people

Pros

The onboarding process was impressively seamless. Often, starting a new role can feel like drinking from a firehose, but Sonar provides the structure and resources necessary to hit the ground running. This solid foundation was the primary driver behind my successful first year within the organisation. The environment is undeniably fast-paced, but you aren’t left to sprint alone. The leadership team is exceptional; they are deeply supportive and actively ensure you have what you need to get the job done. There is a real "in the trenches" feel from management that makes even the most ambitious deadlines feel achievable. Rick is a real champion at doing whatever it takes to help us be successful, along with our sales managers. The London office culture is in a league of its own. It is a vibrant, high-energy space where laughter and hard work coexist perfectly. You’ll find a team that is fiercely dedicated to the mission, but never too busy to share a joke or celebrate a win.
