Pros

Nice office in the middle of Old Street

Cons

* Clueless CEO, cannot make decisions or outline visions, disconnected from reality. * No product vision, roadmap changed so many times without any data-driven decisions, no evaluation of what went wrong to learn from mistakes. Vaporware is a good expression for this behaviour. * No technical leadership * Majority junior engineers with no experience outside of the company. Expert beginners who do not want to learn or change. * Quality is horrendous, lack of tests, automation, NIH syndrome. No uniform approach to engineering, most work in silos. * Toxic environment, constructive criticism to improve systems is frowned upon and is met with behaviours to tire people out to be quiet. * Solution to every problem is endless of meetings with more managers than engineers that result in more meetings. * No career opportunities

Thank you for your constructive criticism. I can acknowledge that the company was not perfect when you were with us (no companies are). We’ve certainly had to make some very difficult course corrections in the last year, including lay-offs. I like to think that we did this decisively, and with a great deal of care to those affected. I agree with some (though not all) of your diagnoses of the pre-restructured company. We had become too complicated, and were working in sub-optimal ways. This presented operational difficulties, especially siloed structures and a feeling of misalignment. Though ultimately responsible for that, I didn’t enjoy it much either. We’ve now removed much of that complexity. We’re focusing on being more product-driven and having a more empowered engineering organisation with technical leadership. It’s never going to be perfect, but I’d like to hope that they’d be changes that you’d ultimately approve of.
