Pros

Some great and talented people in the business with so much personal potential

Cons

A real lack of planning and experience from senior management that has impacted people’s careers and livelihoods with little empathy or understanding on the impact. Just used as fodder for short term goals. Business now focusing on US growth having hired many roles in the UK over the last year also colleagues in UK now feel at risk, employees leaving and not being replaced as well as many redundancies in marketing, data and the whole HR function. Opportunity only offered to those in the inner circle of the founder. Junior C-suite with Gossip culture at its heart.

Pros

-Everyone is extremely passionate and invested towards the business we are building -Passion never gets in the way of being nice and having fun -Great benefits (US team included) -Beautiful office where staff is well looked after (free lunches once a week) -Great systems and investment in technology for a small company -Dog friendly!

Cons

-I consistently say the only con I have about my job/company is that I have to work at all (because who wouldn't prefer laying around on a beach)

Pros

- I met some amazing people during my time there, friends that I still remain in contact with today - good additional benefits, private healthcare, free tuesday lunches, stocked fridge etc

Cons

-A lot of people in mangement positions with no previous experience of being managers / having relevant training. This led to lack of support in terms of training and development and at times unprofessional feedback - No budget for proper training or guidance on how to exceed in the role. You have to learn as you go, which works for the interim but seriously holds you back if you want to progress in your career in any way at all - There is a cliquey vibe to the company in terms of culture. A lot of promotions are based on if the 'OG's' like you not if you would be good at the role - Diversity and inclusion is talked about a lot but in reality this is just lip service and nothing is really being done internally, there is little room to progress into senior roles unless your friends with the SLT - salary packages are very low compared to industry standard with no bonus - In my time I saw people hired only to be let go months later. Instead of being trained up, employees face the consequences due to lack of planning - SLT all know each other so difficult to express how you feel
