Pros

Some really great colleagues Good location

Cons

When I joined the company was small but promising, there was a lot of enthusiasm, some great projects and some good buzz around the business. In the past year this has all changed. Bad management, dodgy hires and a cocky, out of touch CEO has turned this place in to a toxic cult. First of all there is the RAMPANT favouritism. Inexperienced staff have been catapulted to senior management positions simply because they are yes men/women. This has caused countless issues within the wider team and the CEO has just ignored and fired those who question him. Furloughs and redundancies were expected but the way it was handled was shocking. People were let go because they weren't liked by their managers. That is a fact. It had nothing to do with whose role was 'needed' it was favouritism. The process was messy and badly handled by HR and every single exec involved. Just know that if they survive this and you get a job offer in the future - remember how they handled loyal staff of 3+ years - they WILL do this to you too. There are hundreds of better startups and consultancies out there, don't waste your time here it's a sinking ship.

Pros

Absolutely first class people. Nothing beats spending your days with a group of folks who literally want to turn an industry on its head. Incredible project work. No BS. Real work on real products that are really impacting peoples' financial lives. Great Clients. Actually enjoying working with our projects sponsors. Great Tech. Company only focuses on new and exciting technology as far as implementations.

Cons

The sheer volume of Client work coming in. Requires the company to grow rapidly; however, so far this has really been managed well.

Pros

After working at11:FS you will know how much of a cesspool this company is. The CEO is toxic, vulgar, and lacks ethics. After seeing the lowest of low, you can only go onwards and upwards and avoid work with a founding team that is unethical, unfair and biased.

Cons

Men paid significantly higher than women and asking about this will be your demise.
