Pros

Free lunches and great peers

Cons

Used to be a great place to work but new management operates behind closed doors and constantly changes direction in a way that benefits revenue over employees. Quick to remove people from teams and the company without warning. I would have been happy to recommend people to this company for the longest time but now I would steer someone elsewhere.

Pros

Every day, I don't loath about going in to work, I look forward to going in. That's simply down to all the people who work in the company. Everyone is there for the same purpose - grow your own career, feel challenged and have fun while doing it. A lot is provided - great package: pay, insurance, dental, stock, freebies, tuition fees funding, gym, holidays, lunch, snacks, happy hours, team nights, travel, pension and a great environment.

Cons

With all that, still being relatively a start up company in the U.K., it can feel that there is a lack of stability and empowerment of the product we offer. As the States is obviously the main focus, communication & engineering focus on the U.K. can be stagnant at times, but he other side is that we don't actually see what is being worked on and what progress has been made. That is why communication needs to be a focus and they are improving on this. Frustration can also come into play and that is because the company is number 1 in the States and we hear how great the product is and how big we are, but we are no where near that in the U.K. as there is work to be done on the product and we are not the biggest by a long shot.

Pros

Free lunch and office

Cons

I thought this company was really promising when I first started, but the more time that went on the more dysfunctional it became and the more the lack of communication became a serious issue. They play favorites and promote the people who they like over people who are qualified for the job. Senior management is the worst I have ever experienced.
