Pros

Interesting products to work on

Cons

They are arrogant to say the least. They treat their staff very poorly and use 'bonus' as a way to get staff to work ridiculous hours. If you don't do ridiculous hours or invent something they can instantly sell, you can forget your bonus. Also the management are control freaks. They don't like staff making small talk which is necessary when you work in the technical side as technology can fry your brain and you need that outlet to build relationships with people you work with. When you do work, anything you produce can/will be scrutinised and will even be deleted or re-written by someone else without you even knowing!

Pros

Fair salary, great product, holiday schedule is good, great people in the staff level

Cons

Working here was like being part of the TV hit reality show survivor with the CEO and co-owners being on separate tribes and alliances plotting against each other to see who can create more chaos. Constant plot twists of new job roles or shifts to new teams to avoid providing you constructive reviews and annual raises, promising to address concerns once getting through the next big process change only to change the process again. They will be sure to axe you before your 2nd anniversary, this is to ensure no employee is protected by UK labor laws. They will conceal these as mysterious and shocking "decisions to leave to pursue other opportunities" to those sticking around still drinking the Kool aid with eyes wide shut! Ironically many staff's resignation comes within days of taking paid leave while upper management seems to play a famous game of Hide and Seek and take more vacation than hours worked. The lack of understanding or care to understand how health benefits work for the employees in the US or make them attainable without sacrificing your first born child is astounding. A unique experience that will build character, resilience, and a strong desire to pursue greener pastures. Never seen so many people "leave" in such a short time frame, never had so many managers in that same short time in my entire career. This is a job, do not expect a career here.
