Cult-like with a toxic positivity culture

Pros

Flexible working, generally friendly teams, fair amount of freedom and autonomy.

Cons

Almost caricature-like overly enthusiastic culture filled with clapping for 'wins' that in other organisations would be considered BAU. The CEO loves to put on a show. Underneath this layer of toxic positivity is a deeply dysfunctional culture filled with badly defined roles, lack of process or structure and individuals who lack skills or motivation. There's limited communication and follow through at all levels. Turnover is high and hiring processes not robust enough to build cohesive high-performing teams. The leadership team lacks transparency and problems are brushed under the carpet.

Pros

Great energy around the place, with a strong social scene and a clear north star. Working practices reward bravery and creativity. A great place to develop and find your professional path.

Cons

Suffers from similar startup challenges. Limited funding and periods of employee churn. But the rewards are there for those who put the work in.
