Pros

HR are putting in a LOT of effort into improving the company culture. Great snacks and alcohol fridge, new initiatives, great christmas party. Team comraderie is strong. Pay is good.

Cons

The joking chatter was that the co-founders 'woke up and started a business, it grew too big, they didn't expect it, and they don't have experience on how to manage it and what to do next'. They're really great people that I respected but not so great leaders, sadly. Founders and Directors make decisions as a group, and are extremely slow to accepting new ideas and taking risks. e.g They changed to 'Known' because it was written in graffiti on a train, launched without a proper plan, and within a year are brainstorming a new name again. If they keep butting heads with new Directors or Managers they seem to let them go. We joked we needed to 'just keep swimming' . The recruitment interviews will sell a polished show but there's a lot of mess behind the curtain and extreme patience required. It's a shame because HR put in a lot of work to keep the good vibes. Office is always empty.

Pros

Some of the finest working men and women are employed here. I am not sure where all these complaints are from, but they are completely false. A few men might joke around with some locker room talk and banter but that's not misogynistic at all, people are too sensitive these days. The founder are great, and the videos really don't do enough to show new hires how amazing they really are. Some lay offs, but it's not like we don't have a creative team and people. Lots of great creative people working here. Amazing sales and CS team who don't get enough recognition. Plenty of diversity - we have a satellite office in the Phillipines and I hear they are well taken care of, considering where they are. Take everything with a grain of salt.

Cons

Some bureaucratic red tape slows down movement. Too many 'woke' hires that don't know the meaning of hard work talking down this company.
