Pros

Business students looking for a good case study in how not to run a company have a perfect opportunity here. Product is good and will eventually cause some benefit to earth.

Cons

Amount of dust accumulated by licking your Boss's feet is the only criterion considered during appraisals. Wondering do they still call it Performance Appraisals ? There is no employee empowerment so even though you might have been hired because of your expertise, they don't actually want you to use it. If you ask a questions, you are out rightly branded as "negative" and that incident is the basis for all the future communications and decisions. Feedback is absolutely destructive.

Pros

A mature start up feel. No two days are the same, lots of interesting projects to work on and given the opportunity to have an impact The people are a highlight. Teams are collaborative, driven, and full of smart individuals who are genuinely invested in what they’re building. There’s a strong sense of ownership, and you’re given the opportunity to contribute in a meaningful way regardless of level.

Cons

There really are not any major cons so far. It is 5 days in office. And whilst I am local and enjoy coming in a little flexibility would be nice. That said there's a great gym, good restaurant and free EV charging so I like being here!
