Pros

The people make it. There aren't too many teams, but the ones that are there are impactful running major company priorities. It has a small company vibe, and is generally a pleasure to go into the office each day. The product is great and all sections of the UK office from Sales, Media Partnerships, Engineering, are passionate about the company.

Cons

Working with San Francisco is a drag and can mean late nights at the office. The place can feel a bit disorganised too. The company grew quickly with the expectation that lots of stuff that was poorly designed/architected/written would be fixed as the company grew, but now isn't being focused on because there isn't the staff. This can seem surprising, but really is a bit of an opportunity - there is low hanging fruit all over the place and a chance to be impactful. There is something said of the company that one chooses "either the legacy system, or the system that hasn't been productionized used yet".

Pros

The company offers good benefits and company wide perks.

Cons

The Finance and Accounting department suffers from favoritism, nepotism, and poor leadership. Promotions and opportunities appear to be driven more by personal relationships than by performance, contributions, or expertise. The Accounting Controller demonstrates biased and unprofessional leadership, which has created a culture of low accountability and poor morale. High performers are often overlooked while favored individuals continue to advance despite limited contributions. The department relies heavily on outdated and manual processes that create inefficiencies and unnecessary work. There seems to be little urgency to modernize systems or improve operations. The culture also tolerates underperformance, with inconsistent expectations and accountability across team members. This can be frustrating for employees who value merit, professionalism, and continuous improvement.
