Pros

- Everyone is encouraged to work across teams to solve problems and grow the business. This means great exposure to how the business is run and opportunities to offer input into projects for proactive people - Smart and driven colleagues. My experience has been that everyone is willing to help or offer advice when asked and there is a friendly social scene across the office - The business is continuing to grow and improve its tech, and teams are genuinely excited when releasing new products and hitting milestones

Cons

Many of the common things associated with a new and growing company. It's not a place for people wanting an easy 9-5 in a role that doesn't change. - Can be time pressure to deliver work often with lean teams - There are no large support teams, a lot of responsibility is placed on everyone and sometimes you have to pitch in to help other teams - Communication from mgmt can sometimes be reactive, especially in periods of rapid change

Pros

- Still a small enough company to feel like you have made a difference and contributed to the goals. - Fantastic products that can help and resolve a lot of consumers monetary dilemmas. - Townhall meetings enable the workforce to be kept up to date with the vision on a monthly basis.

Cons

- A lot of influential people have left in the last twelve months which brings with it uncertainty as to why so many have resigned. - Communication is very poor when decision are made overnight and implemented without warning. - Leadership skills still lack across management. - Restrictive approach to renumeration across the whole company even though there are outstanding performers. This can only be due to the vision and p&l. - Fear more employees will resign and move on if they are not felt rewarded or appreciated. - Employee satisfaction is treated like a tick box exercise with a social committee and monthly questionnaire. For a relatively new business this is not the best approach to take and will not gain better morale.
