Pros

Some great people but quite a lot have sadly already left Maternity / Paternity is very generous

Cons

I don't think I've worked in a company that has worse morale across multiple departments and teams. Senior leaders appear to be constantly shooting from the hip making decisions without accountability. Product making decisions with what seems immediate value is the only consideration. If you want to work somewhere where you're proud of the work you put out Zopa isn't it. Some teams have only associates in them which is embarrassing for a number of different reasons, for me this is the perfect example of how Zopa views your development - they absolutely don't care. Senior leadership extremely out of touch Hit a brick wall once hitting senior 5* star reviews to push back up the rating leaves me even more disillusioned, rather than address most the issues that have been raised senior leaders or newly joined are often pressured to write reviews said 5* reviews - this to me says a lot about the attitudes of the company.

Pros

Very good work life balance, you don't hear about people working beyond 5PM other than on the week of new product launches and it's usually made up to those involved pretty well. Nice new office although it feels like we've outgrown it already at times. Some upper management seem very energetic

Cons

Despite the energy the company feels a bit directionless. There's a vague goal of "home of money" but that doesn't really connect with me in terms of actual direction for the company. The company is moving towards AWS with typescript but still focusing on hiring Kotlin developers, but we don't really have TS developers who could do the interviewing. There's a big push to AWS serverless but people are confused when you say you're adopting it?
