Save Yourself The Trouble...Find A Better Opportunity

Pros

The people. Seriously the most talented, intelligent, well-connected, awesome group of people I've ever worked with (though 98% of them were laid off for seemingly no reason around Thanksgiving). Friends for life. The London office seems to be chugging along fantastically, but fair warning to U.S. applicants...run far away. (You'll notice lots of positive reviews from the London office, but beware that several of these are fake from Marketing/Ops teams members to save face. Yikes. Shady business.)

Cons

Some of the worst upper management I have ever seen in any organization...ever. The founders are practically cyborg robots with no human emotion or empathy and they hire upper management puppets who do whatever they tell them to instead of smart leaders who challenge and further the business model. They've closed Las Vegas and Edinburgh without a peep, San Francisco is run by algorithms, and NYC is hanging by a string (less than a handful of employees left). London's seems to be doing grand, but they have no experts to help run the U.S. and it's obvious.

Awful senior management

Pros

Nice (although getting crowded) offices with free breakfast and biscuits, cool last minute business concept and some truly good people. You also have the occasional drinks on Fridays.

Cons

Overall environment is terrible. You are asked to work around the clock. There is no recognition for your effort. Senior management just takes for granted that you work at least 12 hours a day, 7 days a week. The founders are young, and pretentious so it leads to poor management, lack of clear directions and frustrations among pretty much every teams.

Just run away

Pros

Best colleagues in the world. Friends for life and the most awesome professional network.

Cons

In a matter of one (1) day an entire office was laid off due to what seems like a pretty spontaneous and rather thoughtless decision by the top management. Not only did it come as a complete shock, the way it was done was out of this world: weak, childish and with such a lack of understanding of the actual impact for the employees. Despite all the effort, awesome team-work and late nights working to reach goals and meet very tight company deadlines there have been no warnings, no follow-ups and no sense of caring for the people laid off. Best colleagues in the world but worst top management I've ever experienced.

Such a shame

Pros

Packed with amazing people and great potential, this company had the promise to go to all the way to the top and beyond.

Cons

CEO buried his head in the sand and didn't listen to the great people he hired - so they all left and the company slided into decline and died.

Nice place to work but I think it's doomed

Pros

Fun place, many talented people work there, nice offices, people are friendly. Founders are decent people who like and respect the staff.

Cons

Senior management don't really know what they are doing. Every few months there's a new focus, a new initiative that will fix everything and when it fails to hit the targets (they all did) it's silently dropped and never spoken of again.
