      Great company to work for, but experiencing growing pains

      Pros

      Not like any place I've worked before - for the better! Everyone is approachable, from the CEO down. If you have ideas everyone is keen to hear them. Relaxed dress code. Great offices. Great technology. Great product. CEO is inspiring.

      Cons

      Some areas suffer from lack of direction. There's been a lot of hiring middle management-types and a lot of these hires leave a lot to be desired - lots of talk, very little walk. Little opportunity for professional development unless you're in the Product teams. Company values are a little contrived and the way they're constantly drilled in is quite patronizing. Challenges the business is facing need to be more transparent rather than the "everything is great!" rhetoric that is constantly conveyed.

      Amazing team, high pressure

      Pros

      Most uniformly high-quality team I've ever worked with. Can't think of any dead weight. Great chairs, uniform hardware, free soft drinks, fantastic friday night drinks. Brilliant culture. Inspiring leaders and a uniform vision. Flexible working hours and minimum bureaucracy.

      Cons

      High pressure, very hard to leave work at work. Public and Global means there's always someone awake and emailing (although you aren't expected to reply outside hours, many do). So much going on it can be hard not to feel swamped. Processes always changing as we scale, 'no rules' is good but can be bewildering. Red tape creeping in as people start to cover their butts.

      Pros

      Supportive people, great company communication, loads of opportunity, fast pace, and good benefits. The offices are beautiful and the company invests in the well-being of staff. There's a very flat structure so everyone is accessible.

      Cons

      The company os growing very fast so it's hard to always know the right person to speak to
