Pros

Great partnerships with McLaren and Arsenal - good for your CV

Cons

Micro management from the top Alot of people just disappearing day by day (think Thanos snap in Marvel) not because of poor performance but linked to differing opinions in terms of execution which resulted in their departure. Do not that the australia team is pretty well known for stirring the pot quite often.

Thank you for sharing this feedback, and for highlighting our exciting partnerships. We agree that the visibility they bring is a great benefit for our team. It's also clear from your review that the internal experience you described doesn't meet the standard we set for ourselves. The concerns you've raised around micromanagement and stability are taken seriously. Your advice is spot on: moving fast is only effective with clear goals and accuracy. That’s why we’ve been focusing on providing teams with greater autonomy through clear, cascaded OKRs and structured decision-making processes. We also believe healthy debate drives growth, and it's crucial that everyone feels safe offering a different opinion. That's why we're committed to open communication and handling organisational changes with transparency. As an example, we run our engagement survey twice a year and share the results and our action plans openly with the entire company. Thank you again for your candid feedback. It’s essential for building a culture that is both fast-paced and supportive. For current employees, we encourage you to connect with your manager or People Partner if you ever need support.

Like most high-growth companies, things can move fast and change quickly, which may not suit everyone. There can be pressure to perform given the pace and ambition of the company.
