Pros

On site gym and cafe.

Cons

The senior leadership team (SLT) and especially the CTO are completely out of their depth. The CTO was brought in 2 and a half years ago to revolutionise the way thinkmoney works and turn us into a true FinTech company. However, after his time here nothing much has changed to improve the system and we are now facing large-scale redundancies which has hit the Tech team the hardest. Looks like they want to “bin tech” as opposed to keeping this at the heart of company. At the start of the year (as is normally the case most years) lots is promised, but as usual its all hot air. So many times, projects start then get pulled due to poor decision making from the CEO/CTO, this is a huge waste of time and effort and leaves the team feeling very demoralised. In August thinkmoney offered roles including 4 developer roles to people who duly handed their notice in with their current employer, only for thinkmoney to retract those offers leaving those poor people in complete limbo. This happened to other roles within the business as well, and has happened on other occasions. This is either extremely poor management or plain stupidity and is an example of how this company operates.
