Pros

Good salaries and office loacations

Cons

All negative reviews are accurate, are still occurring, and will likely persist unless top management is replaced or the company collapses. Everyone recently hired says they regret not taking Glassdoor more seriously. Massive turnover - many people leave within a year or less. Toxic to the core and led by inept, conservative, disrespectful, irresponsible, narcissistic individuals with questionable ethics and a tendency for gaslighting. Many, many people’s mental health has deteriorated here. People are openly homophobic and transphobic without repercussions. Misogyny, sexism, homophobia, and transphobia are also common themes in jokes - even made by very senior people who claim to be “female leadership advocates”. There is zero empathy or care about people; when you are unable to work, pregnant, ill, or even deceased, you basically don’t exist and there will be little to no transparency or communication about why people are leaving (and it’s never, ever, the company’s fault). HR is evidently biased and not independent. It’s not everyone that’s bad - there are some brilliant individuals but the trickle-down effect from leadership is too strong to stay safe from. And it’s not just the culture. The tech is terrible; the backend and hardware are outdated and IT is overworked and understaffed - ‘fintech without the tech’. The benefits are laughable; old fruit, stale crackers, and some slices of awful pizza. Salaries are not benchmarked and the ‘no gender pay gap’ claim they boast about is simply untrue. There are hardly any HR processes; and the ones that exist are only working against you.

Pros

Your time at 3S will be short, because they're laying people off.

Cons

The leadership are actively laying people off while gaslighting the employees by saying that people are leaving due to "personal issues". This is not true. Mulitple people are being made redundant in secret. Several have gone in the same day, and are locked out of email while the founders spread lies about their departures. This company made a massive first quarter loss. They've annouced a "hiring freeze", but the layoffs are already happening. Stay away. Oh, and watch out – every time a negative review appears, the company posts a load of fake positive ones. Look at the dates of the positive reviews closely and you'll see the pattern.

Pros

The company has a dynamic international environment with some genuinely talented and professional colleagues. There are plenty of opportunities to gain experience quickly, take ownership, and work on interesting problems.

Cons

Leadership feels very focused on hitting bonus targets and reducing costs, often at the expense of people and long-term thinking. Employee development gets no attention, and staff can sometimes feel treated as replaceable resources, especially with offshoring and automation initiatives mainly aimed at cutting headcount. The company is also surprisingly siloed for its size, with strategy and decision-making often feeling chaotic or reactive. There can be a fairly aggressive culture at times, with pressure to align closely with founders rather than openly challenge ideas.
