Pros

- Flexible working hours - Opportunities to work remotely - Friendly and supportive colleagues at the junior and mid-levels - A good platform for working on interesting projects and contributing to meaningful discussions

Cons

- Favouritism at the Top: There is a significant issue with favouritism within the C-suite and Senior Management. Certain individuals receive preferential treatment despite ongoing complaints about their behaviour towards peers and subordinates. - Unaddressed Complaints: Despite multiple calls for addressing the treatment of staff, the management consistently overlooks these issues. This has created an environment where poor behaviour is tolerated if it comes from the favoured few - especially if they are seen to be 'high performers'. - Lack of Accountability: The lack of accountability for senior staff members who mistreat their colleagues is disheartening. It undermines the company culture and affects team morale. - Limited Career Growth: Due to the favouritism and the entrenched positions of certain individuals, career growth opportunities can be stifled for those not in the inner circle. Essentially, people leave due to a high level of toxicity.

Pros

The owner loves to boast that parents will “never miss a sports day”

Cons

In reality the company is filled with miserable employees (mostly women) who are burdened with the golden handcuffs of having the flexibility of working around childcare but hating your job.
