Pros

Industry leader. Spacious office. Nice colleagues. Flexible working.

Cons

A clueless leadership team, instead of listening and fixing problems resort to gaslighting and bullying. Company struggling to attract good talent. Poor remuneration and very basic perks. Poor staff retention. Lack of clear strategy and processes. Teams lack stability and clear direction. Long working hours. Stress. Chaos. No training or mentoring. Horrible culture. No recognition of hard work. No career or salary progression. ML team are the centre of attention, much better paid and resourced. Otherwise, you are out of luck.

Thank you for your feedback. We would ask that you reach out to whoever on the leadership team you feel you can have a conversation with and speak to one of us. Your feedback is important to us as we grow. We are scaling an incredible UK technology success story in the AI technology space and as we grow the business then we will work hard to achieve ambitious goals. We're sorry you feel that you have had to resort to writing this on Glassdoor rather than speaking with someone. Please come talk to someone about this and share your experiences so we can address them.

Pros

The company culture Flexibility for those not living near HQ Work incentives The customers we work with

Cons

Sometimes, being we have employees around the globe, there are tough barriers for communicating in a timely manner... but, this is with most international b2b organizations.

Pros

It's great to get sell a world class product that WOWs people in every demo. The team is supportive of one another, NO POLITICS and fun. Unfortunately I'm remote so I only get to have fun vicariously as I see invites for all I'm missing. We actually listen to customers and work with them for success. It's a great place to learn knowing you'll be supported even if you make a mistake.

Cons

Like many companies our size, we are busy putting scalable processes in place to make us more efficient. Being remote, sometimes it's hard to stay up on what's happening in the office. These process improvements are doing a lot to make this better.
