Pros

Good pay and free fruit in the office

Cons

I found the culture in the UK team shocking, with frequent verbal aggression from UK leadership - I witnessed colleagues being yelled at, insulted, and sworn at by senior leaders, to their faces and behind their backs, and witnessed multiple colleagues crying at various points in time. Many employees left around the same time I did - I believe this was a result of the terrible atmosphere in the office. Personally, I suffered an enormous hit to my professional confidence, which still affects me over a year later. I knew it was time to leave when the people in my life started pointing out I wasn’t my happy, upbeat self anymore. I went into the role optimistic and excited to make a difference at a young, innovative company, and I came out doubting myself, feeling dejected and let down by the people who let the poor behaviour go unchecked. I do believe this is unique to the London team - have heard great things from the Canada and Australia teams in particular.

Pros

Unfortunately, not many since the company has shifted priorities, post layoffs. Good work/life balance but depends on your role

Cons

Lack of employee development due to lack of bandwidth for leaders, new shift in performance management allows leaders to let employees go without development paths, there's a push to work harder and move faster creating a toxic work environment.
