Pros

- Regular Team members are nice - And interesting concept, although limited in choices - Getting to try the food

Cons

- A blame culture that forster a terrible atmosphere - Hire people on the cheap, let them fix your broken teams and let them go before probation finishes - Super high turn over of staff - Dysfunctional management team that works like a boys' club. If you're not a boy, or not licking a boy's boots, you'll never get anywhere - Doesn't recognise talent or invest in people - So process bound that the company remains stuck with the same problems - Location is not great - Offices are not conducive to team work and collaboration

Pros

• A growing focus on quality rather than speed, even from senior leaders • A growing focus on AI, with engineers empowered to experiment and explore • An environment where things get done, yet people aren't expected to work long hours • A healthy focus on data, without requiring every decision to have mountains of evidence

Cons

• Can over-index towards high-confidence plans and timelines, rather than high quality decisions • Team changes are too regular - the value of a stable team that rotates through problems isn't understood

Pros

Great working culture, wonderful colleagues

Cons

Sporadic support in terms of ways of working and the tech stack. No bonus. Underwhelming increases.
