Pros

I love the fast-paced and exciting environment and the fact that I get to work with a great team and brilliant people throughout the business. The base salaries are good and they offer great benefits (30 days annual leave, free deliveroo, etc.) A lot of complaints in other reviews are about the work-life balance and to be honest it can vary quite a bit depending on departments and individual teams. In my department the work-life balance is very good, in fact it's better than at other companies I've worked at before. The culture of never settling and always striving to be better aligns closely with my personal values, therefore it's a plus for me. However, if your biggest ambition in life is to be home in front of the TV by 6 pm every day, it might admittedly not be for you. I think people need to be aware what working for a start-up is really like before joining with false expectations.

Cons

Communication from (senior) management can be less than ideal, some decisions (mostly around internal processes) don't seem to be well thought through.

Pros

- Some smart people - App strong - Potential for a strong underlying business

Cons

- Poor HR and Finance (2 CFOs left within last 12 months) functions due to no experience based leadership ever being in place - Little middle management - Senior management team lack experience - A lot of people with Ivy League CV’s but very limited experience who think they know it all - Many Department and Functional Heads missing or under qualified - Performance review process (4 times a year) used as a way to identify people to fire – not a two-way process where weaknesses can be worked on - Constant talk about A players – but no definition of that other than being willing to work 14 hrs a day 7 days a week and do what you are told – long hours does not mean more productivity - Employees are viewed as a commodity – one company objective is to exit underperformers (not PIP, assist or mentor – underperformance is <50% - with average performance not much higher) - Overall strategy lacking hence objectives change constantly and are solely driven by CEO – also results in multiple people working on the same problem in isolation - Total micromanagement from top down (that is by design), thousands of KPIs each quarter – why employ senior people and then tell them how to do their job.
