Pros

- Once had a good culture - Once had good colleagues - If you're proactive enough you could impact development decisions (so long as it's only implementation related)

Cons

- Majority of the UK workforce was laid off at the start of the coronavirus pandemic. However, it seems that was more of a excuse to replace the UK engineering team with an outsourcing team that was trained ~1 year prior. - Dev work was all about chasing MVPs and then immediately moving on to the next feature that could be marketed. Many features were never refined after initial release, and were just used for marketing/sales purposes, leaving the features basically unusable in production. - Weighed down by tech debt of the founders and original engineers. The codebase started using decades out of date practices when first created less than a decade ago. The up side is most have been phased out, but the legacy of them remains in tech debt that makes working with the codebase extremely frustrating and fragile. - CEO is the living embodiment of the subreddit "iamverysmart"

Pros

- Formerly a market leading product - Great logos and customer base - Interesting technical challenges, but has lead of overcomplication

Cons

- Feels like an environment where it's about who you know rather than what you know - Product is clunky and riddled with tech debt - Poor leadership, making handbrake turns with lack of foresight - Lack of diversity and regressive, exclusive culture

Pros

The product is groundbreaking and market leading. Company culture is fun, with lots of nice benefits like massages, catered meals, table tennis, table football etc. The people are mostly great.

Cons

1) During the release phase, all scrum processes and principles are abandoned in favour of some sort of management totalitarianism. It's a frustrating mess that is also counter productive. 2) There's serious lack of quality control in the product. Many features are either unfinished, unreliable, or have bad UX. Either this is a legacy issue, or something is seriously inhibiting engineers' ability to produce quality work. Probably both. 3) The top level priorities for the company are ever-shifting, resulting in wasted work, inefficiency, and frustration. 4) Cycle of mass hiring followed by redundancies... This is the reason that I cannot recommend what is otherwise a great company to work for. Sure redundancies happen - it's a part of working life - but it's a recurrent cycle at the company, meaning nobody's job is really secure, and everybody should consider themselves expendable.
