Pros

Culture. Rewarding area of work. Work-life balance

Cons

No clear progression path. No clear salary progression path. There is a need to pester managers/senior managers to get pay increases despite taking on more responsibility.

Hey, Thanks so much for the candid feedback. We do have systems in place for progression, but you’re right that this can be opaque currently. One of my top priorities is to improve these processes alongside the data leads. Expect more early next year, and in the meantime feel free to reach out to me directly for a coffee and open conversation. Sam

Pros

Some members of the company are the best people you’ll ever meet.

Cons

Genuinely a complete mess. Incompetent, passive aggressive leadership that repeatedly makes both poor and confusing company decisions. I have some absolutely crazy stories from things I’ve witnessed here. There’s things that are so bizarre and dysfunctional, they belong in an alternate reality.
