Pros

- I love working with so many highly intelligent, passionate and friendly people - We are very well looked after, bordering on being spoilt - The flat structure and fast-paced environment allow us to make things happen quickly - You are encouraged to take ownership and be accountable - There are many opportunities to move laterally within the business or even to other locations - There is a lot of breadth and scope allowed which I love. Nothing worse than being pigeonholed and that definitely doesn't happen here

Cons

- Due to the pace of the environment, sometimes we take on too much or don't finish what we started before moving onto the next thing - It is possible to grow so quickly that you find yourself in a leadership role before you are ready for it

Pros

Good compensation, collaborative environment. Company also seems to aim to be at forefront of new tech such as AI

Cons

When HR mgmt is on record stating things like the company shouldn’t hire females anymore, it really makes you wonder how they make decisions on who should fill management positions
