Pros

- Some incredibly smart people - Great, knowledgeable and kind CTO

Cons

- Toxic work environment, very much a us VS them mentality with the Senior Leadership (Except for CTO) talking down to everyone, verbally unpleasant always - Promise the world when you join, but under deliver. If they were honest from the start then people wouldn't keep leaving - Presenteeism in the office; office is silent always, cannot really be yourself. Forced to come in for 'team work' but unable to even talk to your team without feeling uncomfortable - Attrition rate is VERY high - not just on SD, across the business - Socials are forced fun, seen to reflect badly on you if you don't attend (often not paid for by the company, so at your own expense) - Best Companies thing is a paid thing - do not believe that this company is a best company to work for because it is definitely not - Poor benefits (low pension contribution, low holiday at 22 days standard) - If you voice your concerns, you will be told that it's a you thing rather than any issue with the company - 80% of people you speak to are unhappy here, fed up and either are leaving or want to

Pros

The only real positive are the sales and marketing teams, they are supportive and professional despite the company’s wider issues.

Cons

The company is disorganised and lacks proper leadership and structure. Roles are often advertised without a clear understanding of what they actually entail, creating confusion from the start. Training and support are almost nonexistent. The biggest problem is HR. Senior HR leadership is dismissive, unwilling to help, and quick to cut employees off rather than address concerns. They operate as if past experience makes them infallible, and any disagreement with their approach is punished. There is zero tolerance for independent thinking, if you question anything or push back on tasks outside your role, you risk being sidelined or excluded. The culture prioritises blind agreement over employee well being. HR does not care about people; as long as you say yes to everything, you’re fine. But the moment you assert professional boundaries or share your perspective, you’re effectively cut off. Overall, it’s a toxic environment with no meaningful support, dismissive HR, and very poor employee care.
