Pros

After 8 years working there, I still learn on daily basis about the business, tech and feel I have plenty of opportunities for growth within the company

Cons

If you don’t know how to say no, nor what you want/need, it can get stressful

Toxic culture

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

- Central location in London - Nice office - Nothing else really

Cons

- Toxic and unsupportive culture within the finance team. - Leads discourage growth if you challenge their views, knowledge or working styles. Fragile ego unfortunately. - Lack of healthy discussions over any technical aspects leading to waste of knowledgeable resource. - Very poor management — rude, dismissive, and lacking people skills. - No clear priorities or deadlines, leading to constant confusion. - Gaslighting and blame culture are common. - Leads lack technical knowledge and struggle to guide the team effectively. - Strong Estonian dominance — poor communication, constant intervention, and exclusionary behaviour. - Startup in a shinny rapper, lacks proper processes, deadlines, expectationd and clear structure. - A very controlling environment where if you challenge leads over technical aspects for a accurate and better outcome, insltead of working as a team, they take it on their ego. -Overall, not a healthy environment for anyone seeking respect, growth, or professionalism.
