Pros

Recruited a whole lot of very talented and amazing people, that were a joy to work with over the last two years.

Cons

Wonderbly is the worst kind of company: they *pretend* to care. They stuff you full of free pizza so you dont notice the injustices and the bad management, they give you free cocktails every three months but no way to have a pay rise, or more support when you feel burnt out. They pretend their values are Kind, Courageous and Curious, but there is nothing kind or courageous with the way they treat their employees. Everyone there is disposable, apart from people at the top making the bad decisions and hemorrhaging money on absurd projects. Apparently, they even have enough money to advertise everywhere on the tube and on American TV, but not enough to keep their employees or offer a decent redundancy pay.

Pros

- Cool product - Creative coworkers - Flexible working: any time start / end as long as you're working during core hours (10-4) and 5 weeks remote work per year - Great location with good lunch options nearby - Great values (if they stick to them)

Cons

- 2 rounds of redundancies in 2 years: employees bare the burden of failing strategy while C-suite level execs continue making bad decisions & keep their jobs and comfy salaries. - Unprofessional at times: lack of process overall (and still no real HR), senior leads disclosing things they shouldn't be, poor communication over big projects meaning the people that need to know things are often left in the dark. - Low salaries - No real career development - left to DIY with a Learnably budget and no support - Immense workloads: middle managers bare a large amount of execution work as well as wider strategic thinking
