Pros

They do give people a chance for promotions, but this is due to low pay (unable to get better candidates externally)

Cons

A now rotten company culture to the core, almost every aspect has been stripped back to cut costs, over analyse & then critique against the employee at their will. Unrealistic targets, lowering market share, over priced products, too many slow understaffed layers of internal procedures, bullying culture among senior management to middle. Base has been increased but all bonuses slashed with caveats to mean overall pay down 7-12k. Pressure put on daily via WhatsApp, Email, Phone calls & texts out of working hours. Expectation to attend meetings remotely while off sick. Blame solely placed on the ADM or ASM for companies position in the UK market. Zero praise or recognition for anything positive. A draining experience and one I would recommend others to follow suit & leave sooner rather than later #sinkingship

Pros

They have a lot of on site employee amenities with a hybrid work model. Would recommend negotiating as much remote freedom as possible. Office keeps up the cool techy image and they have professional relationships with interesting product prospects.

Cons

Hard to work with as management is not clear on what they want/need from their employees. Higher ups also have had a history of misogyny and discriminatory behaviour that HR may be trying to keep under wraps and manage the perspective that it never existed but if you get to talk with them more on a personal level, there are signs especially from the other men. Also seems that there is a lack of accountability where management don't talk with each other clearly and expect employees to be the middlemen. Either they figure it out or they are shut out from circles. There is also a superficial act of addressing issues because "startup culture" so they move fast. But just as friendly as they start out, they'll ice you out just as quickly. Somebody also passed away recently and the reaction from management was PC at best.
