Pros
We have an array of talent at DAZN which include passionate and talented individuals with genuine aspirations to improve the business and their career along the way. From commercially driven staff to engineers (and i'm talking about the people who do the work, not the ones at the top of the chain taking all the credit when projects are completed), DAZN has some of the most forward thinking people in the tech industry.
Cons
The people I talk about above are being pushed away, mainly to competitors in the media space, by complete and utter car crash C suite management. I don't even believe SVP/EVP are part of this, it's even bigger. We want to become profitable, there's no hiding that. But firing staff in waves upon waves upon waves is just highlighting the instability at the top of the business. We've all been given "clear goals" of which these "clear goals" are complex, ever changing and in my opinion only in the best interests of the CEO/CTO personal bank accounts. DAZN had some of the most forward thinking leaders which we've let go, people who will most likely go to these competitors and make their subsequent business triple the money we'd make here and it's all down to authoritarian micro-management. Flexible working has been the subject of major discussion this week with the CEO mandating Monday's back in the office globally, along with "regular" attendance. I personally really enjoyed him conveying this message from Qatar, just the small matter of 4,193miles from the Hammersmith office.
