Pros

- Supportive Management - Great colleges, and really good team mentality within product group - Good work live balance

Cons

- Management is not diverse at all, all male, middle aged and white - The company wants to achieve everything at the same time which causes teams to "piviot" every 3 months - Because the company wants to delivery everything at once, product teams and their remit are very very small. 90% of the time you will not get past the MVP product or proof of concept... as priorities at that point have changed again. - The leadership team micro manages - The company objectives are very vague

Thanks for leaving a review & I see you’ve been with us 5 years+, so thanks also for everything you’ve put in! Being the most diverse place, most of us have ever worked at – I hope you can see how much diversity and inclusivity, genuinely matters to our business. We remain unapologetic about it and will continue to be. On your callout regarding the leadership team, I’ll pass the feedback on about micro managing & want to say that whenever we recruit for that, or any part of our teams we go to lengths way beyond most other businesses to attract and find a diverse pool of candidates, but as you can respect, we also look to appoint the very best candidate based on their expertise and track record, irrespective of anything else. I agree that we always have a million things to do and another million waiting in the wings – again, feedback I’ll take back to the teams. Cheers, Ryan.
