Pros

Cons

very so so team - former UK MD left after one year. Current one is an ex consultant, not very good leader or communicator.

Pros

- good compensation - if you can find a good team then you can shelter from some of the toxicity

Cons

CEO publicly makes statements internal that if public would get him and the company really bad PR. Diversity is a joke, CEO regularly shuts down and laughs at any mention of "wokeism" Toxic culture from the top down as his behaviour has fuelled so much horrible behaviour in the worst staff members Aggressive PIP culture You will be gaslit into thinking your not working hard enough even as you sacrifice your mental and physical health to this job Absolutely shocking tech debt and chaotic environment. Prepare to have every piece of work take days to weeks because of how poorly structured and run everything is. Woe is you if you get placed on a team that doesn't make Patrick money It's not worth it. AVOID AVOID AVOID

Pros

- Overall a really strong, smart team that really strive with their work - strong product / vision - Good leadership team at exec level.

Cons

- poor middle managers. Many of them have little to no experience and no training so they're left trying to work things out and generally fail - as the company grows there's an increasing lack of autonomy, and middle tier management are seemingly making all of the decisions without looping in the people on the ground - there's two very different sides to the culture; for those that genuinely buy into it, it's a strong culture of sharing and trust. Others use it as a facade and decide it doesn't apply to them other than in extremely general terms. Again, those people are often in management positions, so this is starting to spread and is ending up with people climbing the ladder by slightly more nefarious means, and the 'nice' culture means that this often doesn't get called out. This is fortunately rare, but it's likely to get worse as the company grows.
