Pros

The friendliest place I've worked, genuinely nice company from all my teammates up to the CEO Alex. Had the occasional stressful day as you do at any company but they were few and far between and I never had what I'd call a "bad day" here, would recommend it as a place to work.

Cons

Only downside is that realistically the majority of the social events are in London as it's a London based company with mainly employees in or around London so if you're remote as I was (Manchester) you're going to miss out on the occasional events but I guess that's life as a remote worker tbh

Pros

Small organisation with teams that are closely connected and highly engaged with their work and company You work with high performing individuals who also care about wellbeing Leaders show recognition to those who show up for their team members The leaders and organisation demonstrate authentic inclusion and hold themselves accountable for further growth in diversity, equity and inclusion

Cons

Due to the size of the organisation, the structure is quite flat, so while there are efforts to create opportunities for promotion in terms of title and responsibilities, there are natural limitations. This may not be considered a con for everyone, as it also means involvement in high level decisions are more likely

Pros

Depending on who your manager is you can thrive alongside dynamic and intelligent coworkers. In a short time I got to meet practically everyone in the company. I have never met such a huge number of friendly, interested, inclusive and genuine people.

Cons

- Micro-management - Outdated management methods - Favouritism - High turnover - Poorly defined job descriptions - No work life balance (burn out is common) - No business plan
