Toxic culture, company going downhill
Pros
None to think of right now unfortunately
Cons
This start-up has gone really downhill recently. The founders are big egos who think they can build top notch AI products with a tiny team and using ChatGPT for coding and everything. No investment in the staff, low pay and 5 days a week in the office. CEO is almost never at work and has no clear vision. Comes in the office at 3pm tired, goes for a nap in his room and comes back at 5pm asking for meetings, but if you're not in the office at 9.30 am HR will report you. The startup is also engaging in crypto currency trading which is highly suspicious, as the founders may have sold their own coins in the market. Their business model just does not make sense, unless they make money from cryptos. The company has not made a single penny of profit in 3 years. The two founders are Chinese and 90% of the company employees in London are also Chinese and management expect Chinese style level of obedience and subordination. Most meetings are in Mandarine. The majority of the London office has recently been fired over the last 6 months. The first people to be let go were the highest paid people (the only two token white guys in the office), then they started firing also the junior Chinese people. They take advantage of people from China like me who rely on them for their visa and treat them poorly. Everyone I know of is looking for a job and just waiting to be fired next. Avoid at all costs
