Pros

- London office has recently been refurbished and is quite nice. Some office perks too like free coffee/drinks - Cool location in Angel and very social company. A lot of restaurants/bars outside - Some people are very friendly! You will definitely make some friends there

Cons

- Huge workload that gets bigger and bigger overtime, however headcounts will not increase so you end up taking the hit - Due to the attitude of some senior managers (Directors to SVP Level), bullying has been normalised within the Sales team and this has spread to other departments closely working with them - At some point your workload just becomes impossible so management will find ways to make you leave and they will just hire new people instead so the circle can continue - At the same time, those managers will get promoted, so E4B just becomes more and more toxic as we speak. If you have a family or are a care taker, be prepared to leave in stress 24/7 and never really enjoy your life inside or outside work... - On top of this, the pay is low. They advertise themselves as a Tech company but will not match the Tech industry salary. Bonus is gone since COVID hit too... - Many competitors out there will offer not only better pay but will also treat their people in a more respectful manner

Pros

Constant state of transformation is ripe environment for new hires and functional experts from big name tech companies

Cons

Pre-covid the culture was really special. Collaborative, engaging, people-centric, with a unifying mission to enable travel for the world. Since covid there has been a revolving door of executive leadership, and with each round, they throw out the current strategy to try something "new" without building from the current or past successes. Constant change, but no clear vision or strategy of what they are trying to change to. Lack of strategy and low risk tolerance leads to too many priorities with not enough investment to move the needle in anything. Quarterly layoffs, but executed quietly team by team so as not to make news. No psychological safety. Talent strategy since covid is to hire externally over internal promotions to gain "functional expertise" therefore difficult to grow your career. Siloed divisions not working towards common goal. Lacks operating model maturity needed for a company of this size likely do to revolving door of execs and priorities. A cash cow company with an identity crisis trying to be an AI innovator. Build vs buy mentality slows them down. Too many exec pet projects that aren't vetted with proper business cases.
