Pros

- Decent name to have on CV - Decent tech wise (but declining) - Company is growing revenue (but this is unlikely to benefit you because they're very cagey with equity.. so much for #betheowner) - Good springboard to move to other companies - There's probably plenty of worse companies to work for

Cons

- Management has a very insular culture, it feels very much like an us vs them situation and not a #oneteam situation. - Better engineers with higher mobility leave whilst less mobile engineers stay leading to a worsening engineering culture over time - No focus on good engineering in recent years, only cost cutting #keto - Tried to draw focus to the value of benefits like the free lunch/breakfast when discussing salary adjustments at end of year reviews.. then went on to cut the lunch budget a few months later - Trying to drive a performance culture but the pay doesn't match - Everything is urgent, when you deliver it under pressure it turns out well maybe it wasn't that important after all - Management lacks professionalism - When the current CTO came in he dissolved the developer platform team.. what does that say about the value the company puts on good engineering? - Lack of quality, most teams don't have products which interface with the outside world so there's no pressure on them to deliver quality, only the #pacematters - Management values time in the office above real performance - High attrition in general - Glassdoor review score fell from 4.6 to below 3 over a period of months a couple of years ago, it's only picked up recently because new joiners were heavily encouraged to leave good reviews

We’re disappointed to hear that this was your experience. We foster a collaborative, high-performing environment where teams feel aligned, supported and fairly rewarded for their impact. Feedback suggesting gaps in these areas is taken seriously. As the business has evolved, so have our priorities and ways of working. We remain focused on strengthening our engineering culture, improving clarity and consistency in performance and reward and ensuring we operate as one team aligned to long-term success.
