      Pros

      Great CEO and the founder is really nice. A lot of young people and nice working environment. A lot of focus on mental well being. Nice gym that all employees have access to. Nice modern building with nice canteen and clean toilets. Flexible working hours. Good amount of holidays.

      Cons

      Pay is too low at first I thought it was normal but doing multiple tests to see if I'm getting paid fairly and checking others peoples pay who are doing the same job i saw that its was significantly lower than it should be. Its really hard to be promoted with them mostly hiring externally. A lot of inexperienced people in high positions I have seen a lot of people be hired through connections and who they know not what they know. I'm in no way qualified for high up positions but I have seen a lot people who are at lower positions who are much more qualified than mangers who have been hired cause there friends with someone high up. Really unorganised we don't really have a set goal on what to complete and when to complete it. There quick to sack people with the great growth of the company its always changing which means there always changes in staff.

      Great company culture with minor drawbacks

      Pros

      - The company has amazing people across all departments and management levels. - Extremely generous and state of the art facilities, with great benefits and considerate people who provide support whenever needed. The culture is one of its major highlights and is one the driving attributes within the company. There is a large focus on employees' wellbeing on both mental and physical health and diversity within the workplace is ever-expanding. Due to the short time the company has been active, there is a lot of unexplored territories in which an experienced employee can flourish. There is always a great feeling of heading to work on a daily basis.

      Cons

      I can only speak for the department in which I work in but there is a lack of a legitimate plan with a set timescale where an employee can work on to advance within their career, whether that be a skillset or exposure to a higher role. There seems to be a push back on promoting employees in order to aid the growth of the company as support is hired externally, too quickly at times. There is a lack of transparency as to where the individual employee stands within the salary bands at the company. Multiple people within the company have been hired through "Who they know, not what they know" and they "occupy" the higher role, which can hinder the progress for people who have joined the company at a later stage who may have better skillsets and more experience.
