Pros

The salary is good for London.

Cons

The 2 Owners of 787 Networks are terrible leaders and people. From using slurs to flat out bullying they are not mentally or emotionally equipped to lead a technology company. Their lack of foresight time and time again has lead them to mass firings, wasted money and wasted time. These are the type of people that fire people over "costs" but needlessly renovate their office at the same time. They love to complain about people that show up at 8 and work till 5 but don't come to work until 11am. These fools have their development team spend months of time on projects that are poorly thought out and planned and eventually go nowhere. The maturity level of the 2 owners is that of a spoiled child. Talking behind employees backs is just sad and pathetic. If they could fire people for smoke breaks legally they would. The "Bro Culture" here is like something out of Mad Men. Ownership is not afraid to tell employees that they don't care what you think. They hire people to be leaders but the only way to survive is to become a "Yes Man" and follow their awful ideas.

Hi Anonymous, Thank you for posting your anonymous review. If you do in fact work for our company, I regret that you are having a negative experience. You seem to be very angry and because we care so much about the safety of our team, I am concerned that your anger may manifest in violence. We cannot stand for violence in our workplace.

- 'Google-esque' feel in terms of culture, work ethic, and work environment - Employees who value and respect each other - Product is worldwide providing great exposure to cultural differences in the workplace - Customers LOVE & appreciate the product and service being provided which makes for a really great customer experience - Who doesn't love jammin' out to tunes while you work?! - If you have a good work ethic and think the Power of the Playlist is a powerful thing - You should work here!

Cons

- Glass ceiling seems to be present in some departments while missing in others - Creative ideas don't really get pushed up the ladder, only down

Pros

Really amazing product that is easy to get behind, decent pay, cool atmosphere, lunches provided.

Cons

No official HR department to speak with, or voice concerns. When I started, there were only 2 females working plus the cook/cleaner. Out of 40 people! The rest all males. Being accepted or included was difficult with management. I often felt treatment and favouritism was all but to obvious. The company preaches hard work, but I noticed employees who were lazy and not very motivated or enthusiastic, getting special treatment over others who worked harder.. I felt I busted my butt and was at the top for metrics as proof of that, but was ignored with positive feedback or coaching opportunities that could've helped me.
