Pros

Offer the opportunity to work cross culturally across offices in London, Shanghai and New York. The team is diverse and incredibly talented. Everyone is dedicated to the vision and passionate about their work.

Cons

The executive team absolutely does not know what they are doing. The strategy changes every quarter and it's basically the blind leading the blind. As a measure to keep the ship afloat, they had major lay offs across the company. Everyone was blind sided and most people were expected to leave effective immediately. Even people with families to take care of. There was no email or outreach from the executive team explaining the decision behind it. It was an incredibly irresponsible and inhumane way to deal with such an unfortunate situation.

Thank you for your feedback. I regret to hear that you had such a disappointing experience with us. I am available at any time to discuss one-on-one if you would like. Your time of more than a year working with us means a lot to me and I hope that you will find some positives to take out of it. -- Luke Nolan
