Pros

unlimited holiday - if you look past how manipulative this really is

Cons

Masking unrealistic targets with the "high-performance" label. Clear favouritism. Pretending to care about their employees and using their personal circumstances against them to push them out of the company. Clearly the business is making poor financial decisions and pushing out the employees they feel are "weak-links" to cut back and save money. The turnover in the last year alone is a joke and evident of this. Very cliquey company culture. Unless you basically marry the job - you're looked down on. They claim to be different but they're actually worse, Very messy organisation.

Pros

Good out of office culture on the whole, high performance people, work with decent companies on the whole, very ambitious founder who absolutely believes in his mission, leadership team come with good experience. Expanding globally which could be a good move but also could leave the UK business in trouble. It's a welcoming place, you get close with everyone quick, again i've seen this be a pro and a con. A good place to learn a lot, quickly, if you go all in and are proactive to learn.

Cons

Very very poor pay for what is expected of you, commission structure is poor and gets bent upon arrival, cult like environment, many people pushed out of the door, contract written so that everything ultimately comes down to the founders decision which leaves people vulnerable, founder can be very manipulative, comms structure and progression is dangled like a carrot on a strick but unachievable 99% of the time.
