Pros

Fully flex working model (meaning you can work from the office or home as much as you want do) Work-Life balance is good with only occasional overtime and manageable workloads Business has been growing a lot and is the market leader for some products Some perks like health insurance, pension scheme and study allowance are good. But many benefits were discontinued since the outbreak of the pandemic without any clear reasons why. (The business is doing well financially) Compensation used to be above average but seems to be more on the lower end when compared with other employers in the space now

Cons

The atmosphere and culture is bad. There used to be more emphasis on team work and social events but now you are just expected to perform otherwise you are out. It's demotivating and frustrating. Although I was not personally affected, I have seen some concerning incidents of bullying and morally questionable treatment of other staff members. Career progression and training is not great

Pros

The people here make everything better. The team is smart, collaborative, and genuinely fun to work with. The work itself is fast and creative, every project feels like it actually matters, and there’s always space to bring new ideas to the table. It’s the kind of job that keeps you thinking and growing.

Cons

There’s definitely a lot going on — it’s a high-output environment, and sometimes it feels like you’re juggling ten things at once. Also, it can be hard to slow down and take a breath when things are moving quickly (but that also means you’re never bored). :-)
