Pros

Perks and benefits that is hard to find in any other company in London

Cons

Russian is the main language of the office, they keep pointing out and sending out emails and emails saying that staff should not speak in Russian but it never change or will change, the CEO is pampered, only cares about his image and what other people and the press thinks about the company. Staff are underpaid, overwork and a crazy bonus system that always works in the company favour to give you less money. Management are 95% Russians so you end up having to beg for things as other for being Russians would just get it first handed and with no approval needed as a "buddy". Founders like to be treated like gods, you must not speak with them, you must to disturb them, they will always be secluded in their tiny little room where you feel frighted to even adventure yourself inside when you are called upon.

Bumble Inc. Response

UPDATE: 1st JUNE 2020: You spoke and we listened. The compensation and progression system of our employees is one of our highest priorities, our people are our biggest asset. Our company is now under new leadership and in particular new tech leadership and we are heading into a new chapter. From July 2020 we will no longer operate a monthly bonus system and instead will move to a bi-annual performance review. We also calibrated all packages for all levels very competitively against the market. We are confident that this will offer a fair and rewarding package to our engineering team and will support the long term growth of our business. Speak to us to find out more. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, your feedback is valued and will be shared. We would like to encourage you to discuss any concerns with your HR Business Partner so that we can look at how we can improve your experience with us here at MagicLab.

Pros

- Managers lead conversations with "What are your blockers - how can I help you?" - Mgmt trusts you can do your job (no micro managing) - Senior leadership is authentically positive - Teams celebrate all wins - big or small - in a way that boosts confidence, morale, and camaraderie - Work/life flexibility. Hybrid work style but if you can't make it to the office or you have to leave early, no one thinks twice. No card swipe counting - Great autonomy / trust = feeling of empowerment to do my job and the desire to do it well

Cons

- Contractors have very limited access to tools, communications and resources - All-company communications could be more cohesive
