Not so great as they show themselves

Pros

nice colleagues, really good Product, nice office.

Cons

Terrible work-life balance, even for a startup. You can only expect someone to work extra hours or during weekends if you are paying them a decent salary. Thinking that you are paying competitively does not equal doing as such. Short-sighted management, even though the product is really good and promising, they are not particularly clever in spreading their resources. Specifically, on the engineering side there was a team without a head for over a year with a few junior engineers without proper project management. Favouritism towards certain team members is common which is always frustrating.

Healthy competition is encouraged

Pros

Having worked across a number of startups, it's genuinely refreshing to see a company that's actually getting the fundamentals right. Communication is mostly clear, goals are ambitious, and you can tell the leadership is trying to be intentional about culture. The people here are the real standout IMO smart, driven individuals who actually care about the work and each other. The team dynamic is collaborative rather than competitive (but healthy competition is encouraged) which makes a real difference day to day. Add in strong benefits that have recently been much improved, perks, and exciting work in a genuinely cool tech space, and it's a compelling place to be.

Cons

Some of the growth has come quicker than the growth in the supporting functions. It's not a negative but I would like to see those teams get some assistance. As someone based in the London office, I think an office manager wouldn't go amiss.
