Pros

- Most of the people here are amazing - The CEO cares about the mission and doing what’s best for the company - Most of the teams are fun to be a part of and work with - The work is rewarding and you know you’re helping people - Truly believe this company will prevail and be the market leader soon

Cons

- New members of C-suite are out of their element and care more about how they look than the health and future of the business - A few pockets of leaders bringing friends who have no idea what they’re doing and lack the experience and leadership to be in the position they were given - Growing pains and budget pains

Pros

Some nice people in some teams Good incentives Flexible working

Cons

- HR are a cut throat function with a CHRO that really doesn`t care about people and will lay them off at the drop of a hat. - Overall leadership team - commercial especially but across the Board, can`t understand how these people got their jobs and why are they leading a business when they have appalling behaviours - They have been doing lay offs for the past few years, every quarter. But no one talks about it and they keep pretending like they`re growing and hiring people.

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective. We're glad to hear you appreciate the flexibility and incentives, as well as the positive interactions with some team members. We regret to hear about your concerns regarding leadership and HR. Layoffs and organizational changes are difficult decisions, and we strive to approach them with transparency and care. Your feedback highlights areas where we need to improve, particularly around communication and fostering trust, and we will ensure these concerns are shared with leadership. Thank you for your honesty.
