      Pros

      Nice offices New computers Branding is cool

      Cons

      If you really want to get a feel for how bad Shares is then have a look through all the reviews and see when the majority of the green 5-star reviews were written. All employees were made to write these by the co-founders over a short time period. Remove these 5-star reviews and you're looking at a one-star company across the board! The CEO Ben is so loathed and untrusted that it's incredible. He's such an egomaniac that he never lets anyone take any credit for the good decisions made and the majority of the bad decisions are his, which has meant that a company with a once good idea has now turned into a laughing stock with no direction. He's just not a very nice person, but actually thinks he is. If you want a good career then don't join Shares, unless you're willing to become one of the 'boys club' of kiss-asses who are part of a weird inner circle.

      Pros

      1. Talent - The people are intelligent, hard-working and ambitious, which allows the company to move quickly. You learn a lot working here. 2. Product market fit - No ambitious company succeeds without pivots and doubling down on areas that bring value. Shares has a bright future, especially now that it's making significant ground in the wealth management & savings spaces. 3. Flexibility - You're trusted to work your own way. Great offices, remote working/work from abroad policy, and other flexible working benefits.

      Cons

      Limited resource (although this is changing) - You'll be required to take on tasks beyond your remit. However, at what startup/ambitious company is this not the case? Shares is investing more in resource again, with key hires being made from mid-2025 onwards. This has already helped relieve the strain on current employees. I understand some former employees are frustrated after their positions were let go, but ultimately, I can only give an honest review of my own experience at Shares.
