Pros

- Great people - Relaxed office when it comes to dress code and time keeping

Cons

- Far too much in-fighting across teams - Blame game played far too often - Recognition of staff is poor - Senior managements "vision" is a far cry from actual business practice - Too willing to bend over backwards for the bigger clients - Office atmosphere is dire - what used to be a great culture has been driven into the ground - Great people are leaving - due to all the reasons listed above

Pros

Relaxed office dress code. Salaries are ok

Cons

Terrible company to work for. Senior management do not interact with the the workforce. Some large clients basically control the company and keeping them happy goes against everything else. Directors have their favorites who act like they own the place and treat everybody else appallingly. It's a very cliquey company in the UK and can make people who have been there for less than 4-5 years feel like an outsider. Most of them also play the "blame game" and the first reaction of most in the company when something goes wrong is to make sure to find the person to blame instead of fixing the problem. This causes a lot of backstabbing and has created an atmosphere of distrust. I would not go back there for any money.

Pros

Such a great company, culture, team and solution. Fairly well respected in the world of eCommerce but not that well known due to poor marketing. Met some of the best, nicest and most talented people in my career.

Cons

Previous founder and CEO was there too long - company did not change with the times. It was still a great place to be but led too much by Joel. Joel was replaced and it got worse! IBM came in. No knowledge of eCommerce or how to run a SaaS business which could have been as fun as a Google or Survey Monkey. New CEO brought in some 'mates' from IBM - again no knowledge of eCommerce or how to run a company full of young, fun talent. They all made millions in the sale and still have not delivered. Result is they are losing the great talent and will likely be broken up and sold - shame.
