Pros

- Nice people working hard to try and deliver a good product/service. - Autonomy to get things done, or take initiative. - Flexibility/trust to work remotely and (recently) a much nicer London office. - A culture of transparency, decent docs and communication.

Cons

- The team is growing really fast and it feels like some of the new hires aren't well integrated yet, or maybe the old team are cliquey. I'm not sure how this will pan out as it keeps growing. - The parent company is sucking up a lot of time that could be better spent elsewhere. - Some mixed messages/contradiction about strategic priorities can make some parts of the job frustrating. - Benefits/incentives and HR need more work.

Pros

- Very international team: people from France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Greece, Turkey, USA, etc - Company is growing really quickly - No one looks over your shoulder about working from home or remotely and the company is very merit-based. Everything is about getting stuff done efficiently - Nice, new office in Shoreditch / Old Street - Some cool benefits: Extra time off if personal travel is by train; Use of all vacation time is strongly encouraged

Cons

- Sometimes all the communication tools we use can be confusing: Slack, Basecamp, Trello, Github, Email. It's not a huge problem but getting used to it can take some time - Office vibe can be dead: A lot of people work remotely so it's often not very full

Pros

- Passionate leadership, who really believe in what they're doing - Everyone, customers and employees alike, are treated fairly and honestly - Excitement around product and company growth - Flexible schedules; great work/life balance

Cons

- Although they have remote employees, it's not a remote-first company. Those who don't visit the London office miss out not just on social events and "water-cooler" talk but also advancement opportunities. If you're not able to visit London regularly, you may feel stuck and isolated. - No HR department
