Pros

Some of the team are lovely and have lots of potential. If you're friends with the senior leadership team you'll go far...

Cons

Unfortunately, this was one of the most toxic work environments I've experienced. I was hired by a founder who sold me on a dream, and by the time I joined 2 months later he was gone under circumstances arguably not fit for a Glassdoor review. I witnessed countless redundancies and people quitting in my short tenure there. A shocking amount of favouritism, creating a toxic "family" culture - which you can demonstrated in their somehow high GlassDoor rating. No real development and training offered, they sell things to you as "growth opportunities" but lack the structure and expertise to actually help you learn how to do it, and do it well. Different parts of the business are isolated to each other. Would rather have people in the office 3 days a week than offer flexibility and improve employee retention. Tried to implement 'core hours' of 10-4 to account for longer commutes but then senior leadership would look down on anyone actually utilising it.
