      Not good for mental health

      Pros

      Opportunity to learn and empowered to try out new things. Friendly CEO. Nice office and benefits.

      Cons

      Don't be fooled by how it looks from the outside. This is about managing their image as a brand rather than being genuinely good. Very cliquey and immature due to the inexperience of the majority of staff. A lot of colleagues will bad mouth others for their own progression.

      Growing too fast, wouldn't advise for job security for the near future

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Gift cards at anniversaries, 50% clothing, free/subsidised lunch and sick pay. The team I was part of was great, including direct management, and felt a sense of community before the restructure. Great offices and working environment when looking at day to day. Great if you live locally or want to relocate as the office provides everything you'd need. CEO seems genuine and can tell he's doing the best he can with how fast the business is growing.

      Cons

      The senior leadership team are inexperienced and the majority that were kept in the restructure are pal-y with the CEO. There was poor alignment between teams which meant all projects/campaigns were last minute. If you can't handle fast-paced I'd advise against working here. The restructure and removal of jobs on mass last year was communicated poorly, which meant people in certain teams could see which roles were being removed before the actual person in that role knew themselves. The People team do pay reviews BEFORE you provide evidence of your years worth of work and reasons for promotion etc. meaning they don't let you prove your worth before they review your salary and you have to rely on upper management where (in some cases) they rarely check in and review you.
