Pros

Good vision and decent business plan initially.

Cons

They used a demerger, that completely undid their original vision, to effectively offboard employees they didn't like but couldn't terminate legally. It's a shell of a company now with no vision and understandably no one cares enough to do their jobs properly anymore. They might say they don't screw customers, but they do screw employees. It was so disappointing seeing leadership run away to one side of the demerger and openly lie about their plans. I hope those people know that what they did was wrong and that it lingers with them for while. Also, exercise extreme caution with Visa sponsorship. Don't trust the promises. They'll promise sponsorship to incentivise you into roles and then they'll make you redundant (or offload you elsewhere) to avoid the cost.

Pros

Relatively low levels of bureaucracy and minimal administrative overhead can make it easier to move quickly. However, this lack of formal process can also work against employees when issues arise, as key decisions and risk discussions are not always well documented.

Cons

This organisation struggles with basic operations. Direction from leadership is inconsistent, with priorities shifting frequently and limited alignment across teams. This often results in accountability issues, where work is deprioritised and later questioned when outcomes suffer. The business is significantly under-resourced, both in staffing levels and depth of experience, leading to an over-reliance on a small number of capable individuals. Broader capability development appears limited. Senior leadership is perceived as dismissive of ongoing structural and compliance concerns, which are not always addressed transparently or proactively. A significant number of employees exited ahead of the recent acquisition, which speaks to broader concerns prospective candidates may wish to consider carefully.
