Pros

- Mostly great people. - No micromanagement. - High level of autonomy. - WLB (not so much the case right now though).

Cons

- Likely going out of business sometime next year. - Won't give specifics for obvious reasons but safe to say the financial situation is very dire and transparency is very low as the company is in damage control. - Situation could have been easily avoided if not for leadership making irresponsible decisions. - Mass layoffs, laid off almost 1/2 of staff in the last year. - Key remaining staff leaving likely due to no pay adjustment this year despite increasing inflation and cost of living as well as bleak future,

Pros

Remote Work Nice Tech Provided

Cons

Clear favouritism across management. Unstable environment. Every few years lays off significant % of the team. Low salary unless you're in the UK. Any attempt to build a work culture was abandoned. Leadership needs to take a long hard look at their own performance. How many times do you need to restructure the company significantly before you realize that there are problems at the top. I wouldn't be surprised if Showbie is sold in a year or two.
