Pros
- If you are in a good team working on a site that's doing well, the experience will be mostly positive. However, it really is luck of the draw and working experiences vary across the company. - There are a few nice perks, eg Deliveroo allowance on Fridays, Vitality health care. - Good for people who enjoy WFH with very few calls or involvement in a company. - Flexible working hours.
Cons
- No progression plans or focus on individual development. I didn't feel like I was growing or working towards any goals. - Strange and aggressive comms on Slack sometimes from senior leadership. - You don't really know who owns the company, what sites they own, how well the company is doing as a whole or what the plans are for the future as you are very much confined to your team/website. You basically get given tasks to work on and hear any updates/changes (of which there are many) from your manager, Not a con for some but I would have preferred to take more ownership of what I was doing. - Big focus on clickouts and money, rather than the user experience.
