Cult with bad pay - Equity Fundraising Manager Crowdcube Employee Review

Great benefits (desk beers, drinks, food provided, private health care, competitive pension) and fun team activities.

Mixed bag for management; some great managers and some just not so great. Opportunities for career development were very dependent on the specific manager.

Crowdcube has a lot of genuinely great people - hardworking, supportive, and passionate about their work. There’s a good effort to bring people together through social events and team activities. Work–life balance is achievable in certain teams.

The leadership team often displays unprofessional behaviour, and decision-making feels ego-driven rather than strategic. The company’s direction changes frequently, with flip-flopping on strategy each quarter as targets are missed. Staff turnover is very high, and departing team members are often not replaced, which puts a strain on the remaining team members. Pay is far below industry standards.
