The power to make great products

Pros

Good pay and opportunity for personal development through training. Great central London location, plenty of nice places to eat out and within easy reach of theatres and shopping. Company events such as outdoor activities, Halloween party, Xmas party. Sociable office, always eating round the lunch table together or out for lunch somewhere. As part of AVG, now has access to great business, marketing & tech strategy/resources. Lots of promotion from within. Great products and passionate teams. Some very talented individuals. Good company-wide communication and fairly flat structure. Good two-way communication and inclusion with Support team in Belgrade.

Cons

When some key members left, they were replaced in half-measure and this put unfair pressure on remaining team members and undermined results. One or two members in the company on the tech side can be difficult to work with and no visible effort is made to address this or even to admonish bad behaviour publicly. As the company has grown it lost some of the close-knit feeling it had. Some efforts have been made to help integration and make it feel more sociable but there is more to do here.

Pros

Relaxed working environment. Nice office. Great colleagues. Ability to work from home. Flexible working hours.

Cons

Things sometimes take a bit too long to happen due to bureaucracy. That started happening more after the company got acquired.

Great atmosphere and culture, lacks a bit of organization

Pros

The people are great and it's a real all hands on deck environment, so the learning curve is huge. Lots of upward mobility if you are ready to pave your way and know what you want too. Company is invested in your future. Great brand and really fun culture. Salaries are great.

Cons

It's been really successful, growing and growing at a rapid pace. This leads to a bit of a rushed approach and focusing on the big picture, which is generally good, unless it affects employee satisfaction.
