Pros

- Very promising business model - Fun and interesting challenges - Some teams are great at collaborating

Cons

- culture can be toxic and double-sided, especially in some teams. Easily observable from outside, too as I got these kind of comments from outsiders observing Mews people interacting. - lots of politics - threatened by top management to not say anything bad

Hi there, thank you so much for sharing your open, honest and heartfelt company review with the world. By the looks of it, you haven't at all enjoyed the last two years of your career with Mews. I'm very sorry to hear this, the experience you had clearly isn't the sort of experience we strive to give employees at Mews. You mention that there's a toxic culture and lots of politics; I do hope you felt you could at least share this with your direct manager at the time. In your review, you also rewarded four stars for Career Opportunities and our Diversity and Inclusion programs, so I'm glad you at least felt those things are well organised at Mews. Thanks again for your review and all the best in your future career. Mathijs / Employer Branding Manager

Pros

Generous flexibility with holiday; immediate impact on team; high visibility to top stakeholders; awareness into your value from top down which is amazing to see!

Cons

Can be fast paced (as startups are!) and a bit chaotic, have to be willing to go with the flow and be independent

Pros

A genuinely exciting place to work. The company is innovative, the product is strong and the team makes it easy to stay motivated. It’s rare to work somewhere that is not just keeping pace with the industry but actively shaping it and that energy is felt day to day.

Cons

The pace and ambition of the company can make things stressful at times. This comes with the territory of a fast-moving organization but it’s worth knowing going in.

Thank you for such a thoughtful review. We’re really glad to hear that the energy, product, and team are making such a positive difference for you. We also appreciate your point about pace and prioritisation. As we continue to grow, we know the pace can feel intense, and we’re working to be more deliberate about where we focus. That includes investing in operational planning, OKRs, clearer communication around change, and AI tools that can help teams work more efficiently. We also know it takes ongoing effort to make that feel consistent and connected across teams. Thanks again for your feedback. It’s a good reminder for us to keep being clear about what matters most and why.
