Pros

Salaries are way above market, even in San Francisco. Nice fat titles so if interviewing demand an SVP or EVP title at least. Office is nice. People are generally really nice to work with each day and many are extremely hard working. Flexibility in working from office or home. Seems to have potential from a technology perspective.

Cons

Too many highly paid middle managers so communication is poor and the organization moves too slowly for a so called technology company. Management changes have felt like musical chairs and "where you land no one knows". The company spends too much money it seems from the last earnings announcement, and then has to let people go. Lots of conflict between the UK and the US office...power struggles particularly at the top levels of the organization. Employees don't have a great support structure. Human Resources is absolutely worthless...worst I have seen in an organization. Many managers don't seem to care about feedback or "managing" and HR does not get involved. Management speeches hollow and out of touch.

We have a strong roadmap to future proof our company. We are looking to partner with various technical giants this year and next which will support our vision. Great people, lots of talent

Cons

Need to publicly communicate our vision so that our shareholders are well informed and excited about our future.

Pros

Very good vacation policy. 6 hours accrued per pay period starting day one plus about 12-13 company paid holidays a year. Nice office in San Francisco. Free snacks. Good IT department. Very smart and hard working coworkers. Decent pay.

Cons

Company seems to have fallen as quickly as it was growing initially. Major disconnect between management and staff. The lack of news from management regarding the direction of the company created an environment of uncertainty. With the large number of layoffs, the company started experiencing a large number of voluntary departures as remaining employees found other opportunities. There was a major disconnect between the UK and the US offices. Cultural and management styles were vastly different making it hard for teams to get things done with different objectives and constantly changing priorities.
