Glad the work to push the industry forward comes through; that's a meaningful part of what we're trying to do. The feedback on executive leadership is harder to act on without more specifics, but we want to understand what's behind it. If you're open to sharing more directly, our People team would welcome the conversation.

Five years in and still calling it exciting is the best kind of signal. The London office keeps coming up in reviews as a genuinely great place to work, and that's not an accident; it's the people there who've built it into what it is. Glad you're part of that, and here's to what's ahead.

Strong team, transparent leadership, and a company willing to evolve

Pros

The people on my team are the best part of this job. They're sharp, deeply committed, and willing to run at hard problems without being asked twice. Leadership has earned my trust by being honest about what's working and what isn't, and by owning their decisions when things don't land the way they hoped. The CEO is not perfect, but is open to feedback and visibly tries to grow, which I respect more than polish. The company recently took a hard look at pay and made meaningful adjustments, which sent a real signal to my team that they're valued. There's also a clear push to take smart risks and keep building forward, especially around agentic AI, and that energy is contagious when you're leading people through change.

Cons

The recent right sizing was painful. The teams that remain are sharper and more focused, but I watched good people leave, and that weight stays with you as a manager. Work life balance is treated like a topic we don't talk about, and I see the cost of that in my own team. People do their best thinking when they're rested, and right now the unspoken expectation is to always be on. Benefits sit at average or slightly below where they should be for a company asking this much of its people, and that gap is something my team notices.

What stands out in this review is that the same teams absorbing hard change are also the ones running closest to empty. You're right that rest hasn't been something we've made enough room to talk about, and the signal from the top hasn't matched what we'd want for our people. Your advice on rest and celebration goes together for us, because both come back to whether the work feels sustainable and worth it. Benefits are part of that same picture, and somewhere we know we have ground to cover. Thank you for leading through a hard stretch with this much care.
