Pros

The CEO is good, but don't expect to see much of him.

Cons

It's like a cult. You can't say a bad word. BX does a great job of making it look like it's the place to be from the outside, but the reality is quite different. It has an unpopular, expensive and hard to integrate product in a very crowded Martech / email marketplace. There are also some big egos and arrogance containimating the atmosphere, in what is a small team (so there's no escaping it). I saw a guy in the US get fired for bad mouthing at a private party at the weekend. In london going for a drink and having a moan after a hard week is part of our culture. Its extremely restrictive in that sense you have to "drink the cool aid" at all times. Its false. The UK team is still very much a satellite of the USA and there are a few Americans that struggle with british business culture compounding the atmosphere. It hasn't emulated the success of the US as they have been inflexible (arrogant) with go to market strategies here, and the product is significantly less powerful than the US version due to EU data privacy laws.

Pros

The people are some of the best I ever worked with and will be sorely missed

Cons

- Leadership has never been trustworthy. Any mention of the company doing better or moving upwards has been a lie and reflected in each round of layoffs - Due to said layoffs, the remaining employees have been forced to take on more and more responsibilities outside of their expertise without the pay or title being proportional to the workload - Adding to the above, career pathing is nebulous and prone to changing with no concrete plan on how to move up - The software is okay at most and bad on average - The push for AI usage has led to more errors than positive impacts in efficiency or quality. To include it as part of the performance review as well? Not great - Good , hardworking people constantly leaving due to the work environment eroding - The burnout I experienced here has been the worst. I wake up feeling dread every day because of how little job security I felt Not saying it's great to get laid off, but I look back at the company and feel sorry for what it's become and will not miss it. I will only miss the people I got to work with who made my days bearable and hope they can get out to do something better too
