Pros

The people who work at Pure, and the wider Kernel group, are on the whole genuinely lovely people. Salaries are also competitive and the CEO is very passionate about what he is building.

Cons

Unfortunately, there really is no culture. Unless that culture is 'work hard'. Mental Health awareness week recently - zero mention because it unfortunately just isn't important. Flexibility is minimal too, 4 days in the office but in reality - the expectation is 5. They have a very intense environment where if you don't succeed, and quickly, then you're out, which is unfortunate because the training, management and support are minimal (despite the individual who is in charge of L&D being amazing but there's only so much she can do as 1 person in a company this size).

Pros

I totally understand my role- to bill, make money for myself and the company. Having worked in a few firms, i think the infrastructure and support is as good as i've seen. Not perfect but then nothing is. The onboarding and ops team is very slick, as are most processes. The culture is collaborative and people will go out of their way to facilitate introductions. Big push for x-sell which i totally get in terms of client leverage. refreshingly honest approach from management team which i'd much prefer to some of the cloak and daggers i've seen but candour won't be for everyone.

Cons

not many that i can see but the internal drumbeat may not be for everyone. It's def less flexible than what i'm used to or have seen but i signed up for that, so no complaints
