Pros

A lot of the individual contributors at Attest are wonderful people, passionate, hard-working and supremely talented. You will make friends for life here. The Data team is growing well and full of potential, as is Design, UX Research. Product team in particular is very strong. Their frontend team is world-class. When you are in your squads, you are given a lot of autonomy and trust. Definitely a company for self-motivated people. Jeremy is one of the loveliest and warmest CEOs you will ever encounter. Their Customer Success team is without a doubt the best I've ever worked with. You will learn from your co-workers here, they are genuinely intelligent people. And 'mostly' friendly, depending on who you work with. Work-life balance is also very good, they do trust you to put your hours in and give you breathing space if you require it.

Cons

Blatant favouritism. Because of this, some of these toxic people are given far too much power, and people across the board being promoted to positions they are unsuited towards. A lot of individual contributors who are not in these cliques have also expressed frustrations in career growth, as there is clearly a hard ceiling for us. A let-down from Leadership these past few years. A constant cycle of someone higher-up with the head in the clouds declaring some grand vision and re-organisation, failing to convert this into coherent strategies for R&D, leaving so many of us burnt out, directionless and jaded. They spent far too long filling in Leadership gaps, and then some of the hires are questionable. CTO in particular is someone I feel physically uncomfortable around. A lot of our outgoing minority leaders and managers have been replaced with white men. It's clear they misunderstand their own company value of "transparency" as "explain our reasoning afterwards via constant waffling". There are weak compensation packages throughout, and benefits are bang average. Rather then using their growth framework, it's far more efficient to demand a pay-rise via ultimatum. A lot of my former colleagues have told me the main thing they've learned from Attest is to not emotionally invest yourself in a company, which is quite sad.
