High turnover and variation in experience depending on what team you're in

Pros

Some incredibly hard-working colleagues Company strives towards making a difference and effecting change in a traditionally dated industry which can be motivating, some opportunities to push yourself beyond your boundaries which is what you want in a startup.

Cons

A lot of existing tech debt that needed fixing before the software could be developed further. There's been a large number of leavers due to senior management, yet it appears as though this is being attributed to their individual failures in the environment vs the wider systemic problems that remain and drove them to look elsewhere. A past culture of blaming, nepotism, and disregard for company feedback still lingers in some aspects, with a recurring theme of badmouthing those who are seen to be negative in any way. The team you're in dictates whether you will be managed well or poorly, with no management training or structure in place .

Pros

There’s a lot of autonomy, and you have the freedom to be creative in how you approach problems.

Cons

Inexperienced leadership and a lack of investment in technology has gradually resulted in a highly-political, discriminatory culture. With a lack of improvement in the product in 3 years, loyal customers are churning, making it a sensitive environment. I've known individuals to disagree with senior management and be fired without hesitation.

CEO needs to make changes

Pros

The team is enthusiastic and motivated. The mission of transforming an industry is a strong one and the CEO is passionate, likeable and genuinely trying to make a difference in the world.

Cons

The leadership team around the CEO need to be levelled and experienced leaders need to be brought in to coach them . The US VPs have created a 'bro' culture and the UK senior management have made junior team members cry due to poor communication. This is completely solvable but coaching and functional strategy is needed.
