Pros

The company has great values and ambitions, and attracts really bright staff.

Cons

The company fails to live up to its values but doggedly insists on them when challenged. Things are transparent... except when they're not. Diversity of thought is encouraged.... except when it's not. It's a bit of a cult of personality for the CEO where well behaved bright young minds will thrive and true challenge or ambition is considered a threat. It is possible they will do the same in response to this review which would be rather droll. Things may have changed but the lack of women in leadership was also pretty shocking for a company that prides itself on being progressive.

Thank you for your feedback. It's hard to respond without specific examples, but to address some of your comments (hopefully we won't be "droll" in the process): * Transparency: It's one of our 5 core values and very many people comment positively (at work and on Glassdoor) about it. We live it in AMAs, all-hands where profitability / salary & bonus calculations etc. are explained and nearly all information flows through Slack. * Diversity of thought: With ~40 nationalities and unusual backgrounds such as politics, education, music & retail, diversity is something we truly embrace. Of course with the above average tenure we have, some will think in similar ways, but we abide by ‘disagree & commit’ & 'strong opinions weakly held' and in every EoY CEO letter the need to embrace change is called out. * Women in Leadership: Impossible to know when you were here (although assuming it's recent, as it’d be odd to write a review many years later), but for context female representation in Senior Leadership has gone from 20% in 2020 to 28% in 2023 to 43% in 2024. Which compares favourably to the FTSE: 32%, S&P: 29%, but most importantly UK Tech: 21%. We also maintain a gender pay pay of < 1% currently. which is significantly better than the UK [Tech] average. Either way, as the adage goes, you can't please all of the people all of the time. We do hope you've found an employer that suits you better and we wish you all the success in your future endeavours. Andrew.

Pros

Company culture and standards is a level above all others. The willingness to support and communicate effectively makes challenging work easier.

Cons

It's very challenging and you have to be up for it. It's very rewarding if you are.
