Pros

some nice people and that's about it

Cons

-mad CEO -unrealistic demands -the fact that the staff turnover is so high is the proof that something is fundamentally wrong -the worst work experience (even worse that I can possible imagine) -everything is so wrong that you start questioning what is right and wrong. There is a lot of BS and loads of blatant lies. Clients/investors are lied, employers are lied and treated unfairly. I can write a whole day with what's wrong at Streetbees. I would strongly suggest to stay way, no matter the pay. Before coming to Streetbees I actually read some bad reviews but I thought "It can't be that bad". It was actually a lot worse. I don't think this company can survive. It is not sustainable.

Hi, this is Oliver, one of the co-founders at Streetbees. I’m sorry you feel this way about your time at the company, but it's also only fair to Streetbees that I highlight things from your review that are not correct. There are no fake reviews on Glassdoor posted by Streetbees employees. I would also encourage the astute reader to notice the number of negative reviews that use identical language such as the word 'toxic' and for you to draw your own conclusion about fake reviews. Our staff turnover is currently 20-25% per year, which is in line with the average for London start-ups at our stage. While we are on statistics, it's also worth highlighting we are incredibly diverse with 50% of the organisation female and above the UK average for both BAME and LGBTQ. This diversity means a very rich set of opinions and ultimately a much more interesting work environment.

Pros

I spent 12 years in client services leading key accounts, and have been with Streetbees for the last 3 years. When I first moved from a traditional research company to Streetbees, the change in pace was striking. It's a privilege to get to work with the world's leading brands on key strategic matters. Expectations are high, but it's very rewarding to see the impact we have on the growth of these Fortune 100 companies every day.  The work I do at Streetbees is very different to my previous roles though. I never worked in a tech company before, and I had to learn to do strategic insights differently relying on a high-tech AI product. I love working very closely with the product and engineering teams, which is not something I've experienced before.

Cons

Pace of innovation is fast, therefore there are constantly new products you need to come up to speed with. If you are looking for more of a traditional strategy role, this is probably not the right place. Most of Streetbees team are technical people and you need to be comfortable working with technology in a fast-paced envirnment.
