Pros

Loved the product and technological advancements. Loved most of my colleagues.

Cons

Senior leadership have no clue. They run the UK organisation from the USA, employ senior leaders for the UK but don't given them any power. Employee turnover is SHOCKING; some leave, most are sacked due to 'cultural fit'. I was made redundant only to find out my post had been filled almost immediately after. None of the work I did was recognised. All the company leaders care about is money, money and more money. Employees feel undervalued and overworked.

Pros

The organizational culture is exceptional—the Head of Human Resources genuinely cares about employees, and the VP of Sales stands out as one of the most honest and thoughtful leaders I've encountered. The company strikes a great balance in size: it's small enough that leadership in Marketing, Finance, and Legal are consistently accessible via email, yet large enough that someone is always available to handle urgent issues across time zones. Even though the organization operates fully remotely, teamwork is seamless, and unnecessary meetings are minimized, making work efficient and focused. Senior management is experienced, but also young enough to be trusted with navigating the rapid changes coming to technology in the next five years.

Cons

The organization strongly prioritizes efficiency, meaning company perks such as retreats, swag, and merchandise are minimal. Because the team is highly skilled, new hires must be prepared to hit the ground running to succeed. Additionally, the relatively flat, egalitarian structure might not appeal to individuals accustomed to the hierarchical ranking systems common at FAANG companies.
