Pros

- The product genuinely helps a lot of people and the feedback that is shared internally is really heart warming. - I've had the chance to work with some extremely talented individuals during my time at Peppy, they've hired some great people. - I've also been lucky enough to have an amazing manager/ team throughout my tenure but I know this is extremely inconsistent across the business with how people get treated by their managers. - The flexibility to work remotely is great. - In times where Peppy was growing, there was lots of autonomy and opportunities to grow which is great for career development.

Cons

- Unfortunately I don't see how Peppy will grow over the next 6-12 months, some members of the senior leadership team have made some really poor decisions, especially with spending money unecessarily. - They raised a $45m Series B in Jan 2023 but now have had to make 30% of the workforce redundant (multiple rounds of layoffs in the past year) plus shut down another area of the business which makes no sense. The market isn't great but where's $45m gone in 9 months? - Favouritism is rife throughout Peppy, if the founders like you then you're untouchable no matter your performance or if there's a role available for you. - Treatment of people could be better, I understand it's a VC backed start-up and there's lots of pressure however you should still treat people with respect when they put so much work in to try and make Peppy succeed. -The way some of the founders have spoken about employees behind their backs often made everyone feel uncomfortable but you just had to sit there and listen to it and not say very much out of fear.

We’re genuinely sorry to hear that you aren’t enjoying your time at Peppy. The past year has been challenging for the tech industry and Peppy is no exception to that. We’ve recently had to make some tough decisions across the business and we’re painfully aware of how these decisions have impacted our colleagues on a human level. But even the world’s most successful startups have had to dial up their financial resilience in the current funding environment. Recent changes mean that we now have minimal dependence on future VC funding and no reliance on hyper-growth. We therefore have a lot more control over our own destiny and the confidence to know that we can continue to achieve our mission over the long term. We are extremely proud of the awesome group of people working hard to bring Peppy’s mission to life and we’re committed to giving them the best possible experience along the way. We sincerely hope that your situation within Peppy improves very soon. But, even if that doesn’t happen, we wish you huge success in whatever you do next.

Pros

Cohesive team with a truly collaborative culture Brilliant mission that makes the work feel meaningful Strong leadership- Mridula returning as CEO has been a game-changer, there are plenty of opportunities for professional growth and development, it is a supportive environment where ideas are welcomed and acted on

Cons

Pace can be fast and priorities shift quickly- not for those who prefer predictability. Growing pains that come with scaling, but leadership is tackling them.

Pros

- Peppy is a mission led business with very ambitious goals and it is truly exciting to be able to contribute to those goals. - Great People - this goes hand in hand with being mission led. The people of Peppy are all very passionate about the support the business provides which has made the internal environment and culture extremely positive. - Collaborative Environment - you will have the opportunity to work with a lot of different team members as well as the co-founders, on a daily basis. - High Growth - rapid growth of the business has allowed employees to grow within their own teams and even start and lead new teams. - Ever Evolving - new clients and employees join the business on a monthly basis so there is always something (or someone) new to get to know! I have been in the startup space for my entire career and Peppy has been the best business I have ever worked for. The mission is incredible, the co-founders are down to earth and the growth potential for Peppy is not only tremendous, but inevitable. I am so happy to have found a mission led business to work for, it has made my days much more fulfilling and given me a true purpose in my work.

Cons

I have not found a con since I joined Peppy!
