Pros

1. Equity in a hypergrowth pre-IPO startup 2. Fast progression and development if successful (clear promotion path and in a startup environment like this, you'll learn more in a year here than in 3 elsewhere). 3. Collaborative and social culture (being around people working towards the same goal is highly rewarding) 4. Benefits (from commuting and lunch expenses to PTO, fertility and professional development grants). 5. Amazing office in a great location (modern office space, top floor with a view of London, stocked cupboards and fridges, wellness room, phone booths for privacy, golf simulator and ping pong table)

Cons

1. Hard work (you get out what you put in, it's not for everyone and there's no shame in that - Startups can't operate the same model as a 30 year org). 2. High stakes (pushing towards challenging and demanding goals in that pre-IPO journey). 3. Need for adaptability (things can change fast in startups - we need to be able to pivot and adapt to be successful). 4. Office work (I believe a strength but not if you live too far away or need to be at home for a specific reason: young children, caring for someone etc...).

Pros

Some of the people are kind, intelligent, and very thoughtful, which made the rest manageable when it unbearable Fancy perks: food, coffee bar

Cons

This is the worst company I have ever worked for. Inexperienced leadership and middle management creates an air of stress, anxiety, and frustration across all areas of the workplace. People often snap at each other, burn out, and successes are rarely recognized or celebrated. There is no sense of team unity. I even witnessed a monkey being brought into the office to be posed for photos during an end of quarter celebration. There is little flexibility for people not being in-office due to family/outside issues. There are too many meetings with no clear organization or purpose, and messages/emails are often sent late into the night, on holidays, and on weekends. I wish someone had warned me not to work here before I started, it was some of the worst days of my life.
