Pros
The team outside the founders were amazing to work and connect with. Unfortunately even this is lessened as leadership tries to stamp out connection between teams to keep loyalty only to the company.
Cons
There are many but: - Leadership headed by founders who don’t have the experience to be running this company, and don’t take advice from those who they hire that do. This is really the main issue and everything else I mention trickles down from this. - Lack of flexibility in the work environment, which includes time tracking apps that pause if you’re away from your desk for more than 5 minutes and forced + inflexible in-office days that could only be swapped with a medical certificate (3in/2out day split) - Lack of decent pay rises. If you get hired make sure you’re happy with what you start off on as you’re unlikely to go up much more in your time there - Lack of respect or willingness to understand that mental health is something that should be catered for. No, doing a first aid mental health course is not enough so you qualify on paper - Lack of creative ownership. If the founders want to take credit for an impressive client or production, they will force their way into the project and take over. If you try to push back, you’ll be punished. Ultimately this place creates an environment of fear, not support, and wont help you in your career.
