Pros

Good wage. Lots of materialistic perks, like having breakfast and dinner given to you.

Cons

My time at Next Jump was an overall damaging one. I've never known a workplace where so many people cry on a weekly basis. I've seen all of my closest colleagues break down in the middle of the office at some point. They hire graduates, put them through a grueling faux-psychological Bootcamp where your self-confidence is basically kicked down to the ground, and then load them up with work that they will not be investing time in teaching you new skills to cope with. All the while you wonder 'do I even like this job' but can't bring yourself to leave because of the money. This isn't a place where you would expect this to happen. The company preaches mental safety, selling themselves as guidance counselors for other companies to work with in order to gauge a better understanding of their teams. In reality, Next Jump is vastly underqualified to do this. They have a tiny workforce and too many products, meaning that you have 2 or 3 jobs' worth of work to do, and an extra-long working day to do it in. Many staff have walked out in the last 2 years, over issues including racially insensitive statements not being apologized for, not being allowed to stop the psychological Bootcamp when they're finding it mentally straining, and also just being down-right overworked. You find people staying up stupid hours to complete tasks that should be simple, but made difficult by poor management wanting massive site changes or product launches completed within a very short time frame. The 'feedback app' that they tell you is a safe space to share your thoughts, is used against staff in the weekly All-Hands meeting, where the CEO and founder regularly pull up specific comments to pick apart and essentially threaten the group. There are no actual training courses and you will learn no real new skills. There are very few promotions, and you absolutely will not be rewarded with anything other than more responsibilities even when you are not trained on how to cope with them. Sane people do not stay longer than 18 months if someone has been there longer than that, they are unfortunately now fully-fledged in the cult. The core people have good intentions, but this is lost in a company culture that is outright destructive.

Pros

The staff is on mission. It's very very refreshing

Cons

They might be perceived as opportunistic because they devote so much to others outside the company. And they push people (professionally and personally) to the point of failure/innovation to prove they can get better.
