Pros

- One of the best companies I've worked in - Skilled team and supportive culture - Smart and engaged people

Cons

- Terrible leadership. An answer is always different depending on who you ask - BAU staff constantly forced to operate in an ambiguous environment - 3 rounds of redundancies in 12 months = a leadership team that is not capable of understanding the economic environment, or what's appropriate for the current company goals - People were hired mere weeks before the most recent redundancy round - Leadership team fixated on protecting their own interests, with people's livelihoods being treated as trading cards - Leadership team chose to fire staff over taking pay cuts - Morale has tanked, and may never recover

Pros

- high performing but also collective team - Teams are focused on - Doesn’t just talk AI - planned and strategic push this year to be AI first company in what we do / how we work but also the products we build - leadership is united and CEO is clear and direct. No nonsense kinda guy. - Business is solid and people are working on interesting things. - great culture and great push from all employees - ceo / founder is willing to do what it takes

Cons

- complete product vision not fully realized yet but is getting there - other than that pretty decent place

Pros

- Interesting products and opportunities to work with some genuinely talented colleagues. - Flexible remote work options that made balancing personal commitments easier.

Cons

- In my experience, the management style often felt harsh, overly critical, and dismissive of employee concerns. This created a culture where it was difficult to feel psychologically safe or respected. - I wasn’t alone in feeling this way; it was evident that others on my team were also under significant stress and morale was consistently low. - I raised these concerns formally with HR, expecting meaningful intervention. In my view, no substantial action was taken, which only deepened the sense that employee wellbeing was not a priority. - Ultimately, the environment had such an impact on my mental health that I required medical treatment to cope. Even after leaving, the effects have stayed with me.
