Pros

The people are genuinely great! Friendly, supportive, and collaborative. There’s a real sense of teams working with each other rather than in silos, which is surprisingly rare and makes a huge difference day to day. Cross-functional collaboration is strong, and you feel like everyone is pulling in the same direction. The brand itself is beautiful and thoughtfully executed, and that extends to the offices, which are stylish, well-designed, and inspiring places to work. Overall, this is a forward-thinking company that takes time to make considered decisions rather than rushing, which creates a sense of confidence and trust in the leadership and direction of the business.

Cons

Some benefits only available to more senior colleagues.
