Pros

free food / free alcohol - thats about it

Cons

One of the worst - most toxic places I have ever had to endure. Maidenhead office - everyone would steal from the kitchen and take the office food home. Drinking culture - drinking if often thrusted upon others, the the work environment and out, there have been a few work outings when its not just been alcohol.. which makes it very uncomfortable for others. HR team - very unprofessional, discussing peoples appearances / race / their disgusting antics in an open plan office. No career development You cant trust anyone - Maidenhead office trait Cut throat Everyone moans about everyone else - its just toxic!

Pros

One thing I genuinely appreciated was that the C-suite seemed invested in keeping everyone in the loop. The monthly town halls felt like more than just a formality and gave you a real sense of where the company was headed. When you had a good stretch, people noticed. The company feels like it has real momentum and on a macro level.

Cons

Leadership was inconsistent in my experience and seemed to depend heavily on which manager you ended up with. It often felt like luck of the draw. I personally found the planning process to be more reactive than strategic, with urgency only kicking in once results were already suffering rather than getting ahead of it. The workplace culture also had a gossip element that I found draining over time. My biggest frustration was around performance recognition. I observed situations where reported numbers didn't seem to reflect reality, yet the consequences appeared minimal at best. I would have liked to see more transparency and accountability around how top performers were identified and rewarded, because in my experience the current approach didn't always feel equitable to those who were playing by the rules.
