Pros
Great product(s), great people, fantastic office and atmosphere. A lot of room to grow and people to encourage grow. Overall I feel it was one of the best companies I worked for.
Cons
I don't really see any cons - it's like every other company - the are better times and worse times - good hires - bad hires - good decisions - bad decisions; MC was a roller-coaster across all of these.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at Mind Candy full-time
Pros
Great work environment - Excellent tech - Staff Lunch most Fridays - Good location and social activites
Cons
The Good - When in their Battersea they were young and vibrant and about 30 staff who were all great to work with The Bad - Moved to the Tea building and staff increased to about 100 in no time. Then there was a mention of the subscription number being poor with a concerned look so something was not good. The Ugly - Staff being fired almost weekly - Really bad hires - A clique formed and if you weren't part of it you were on your own. Then the redundancies came - I knew my time was up at one of the stages - Got a decent pay off and bought shares - doubt they are worth what I paid for them. I was there for 3 years - By year 2 I was sailing a sinking ship. A great shame for something that started out so great

Pros
Having worked in various start-ups, this is the most creative environment with the hardest-working team I've had the pleasure of working with. Everyone is held accountable for their actions and there is a genuine drive to work your absolute hardest. Opportunities are there for anyone willing to work hard enough for them. Anything really is possible!
Cons
There's not enough hours in the day to achieve what I want to achieve!
