Pros

Office is at Old Street. That's all.

Cons

All of my teammates looked traumatised on the very first call I had with them on my first day. So I knew immediately I'd made a mistake, which was rather disappointing to say the least. I then had various people (most of which were very senior) openly ask me in my first couple of weeks if I was regretting my decision to join - this was only scratching the surface on how unprofessional it is as a company. Lying is at the core of the culture of Streetbees - which comes down from the very top, where I saw various projects (which technically couldn't be done) promised to clients with ridiculous, unachievable timings by the CEO. The result is that data quality is terrible. Just a few clicks through a report and you'll easily find errors and multiple duplicates. Other supreme lows of my time there included: - multiple team-mates being signed off sick with stress - zero handovers being given as staff turnover is so high - being advised to "paper over the cracks" when dealing with clients. Zero integrity at Streetbees you see. - hearing job interviews being carried out on loud speaker on the office floor (beware if you are interviewing, there's a high probability that it isn't too confidential!) - never knowing who I could trust as the culture of lies then breeds a blame-culture too - hearing colleagues joke about 'PSSD' - Post Streetbees Stress Disorder. I can, unfortunately, vouch for this being a real thing Don't be swayed by the pretty branding and pay packet. IT'S NOT WORTH IT.

Pros

I spent 12 years in client services leading key accounts, and have been with Streetbees for the last 3 years. When I first moved from a traditional research company to Streetbees, the change in pace was striking. It's a privilege to get to work with the world's leading brands on key strategic matters. Expectations are high, but it's very rewarding to see the impact we have on the growth of these Fortune 100 companies every day.  The work I do at Streetbees is very different to my previous roles though. I never worked in a tech company before, and I had to learn to do strategic insights differently relying on a high-tech AI product. I love working very closely with the product and engineering teams, which is not something I've experienced before.

Cons

Pace of innovation is fast, therefore there are constantly new products you need to come up to speed with. If you are looking for more of a traditional strategy role, this is probably not the right place. Most of Streetbees team are technical people and you need to be comfortable working with technology in a fast-paced envirnment.
