Pros

A brand that everyone in UK heard, and that's it

Cons

- A sinking boat who think they are flying - Super low salary - Tough to move up in your career unless you're really good at pleasing the higher-ups (especially skiplevels and C-suits). Once you get the offer, then you've hit a dead end in your career with the same certain job title at this company. - Meetings with your line manager don't really matter because they can't decide on promotions. Instead, someone who doesn't know your work well judges you based on their first impression subjectively. - They start revamping their website, moving to a monorepo, the working culture is sick. And the end goal is to fire the group of engineers to reduce the workforce. - Keep telling "oh we made hundreds of millions in past months" but the fact is they only try their all best to cut budget from staff. The bonus scheme is a joke, when all staff are getting 4% (in max) of their poor salary, while higher-ups get at least 20%. - Short viewed. They are so afraid of Money Sxxxx Mxxxxx, and the main focus is just trying to beat other companies. - A company who never listen to employees. Sitting high and say "Oh we cant pleased every one, if you dont like then leave" is just disgusting.

Pros

Approaching a year in the business, I can honestly say it’s been a very positive experience. The culture is genuinely supportive, with great people and a strong team ethos. It’s a place where you’re encouraged to step up, take ownership and develop. If you’re someone who enjoys being challenged and wants to do well, there’s a lot of opportunity here.

Cons

It’s a high-performance environment, so it can feel intense at times, and it may not suit everyone.
