Pros
Every day has a new challenge and you feel really supported in whatever you do in the company. The culture is amazing and the senior team have a clear vision and direction for where they want to take the company I would highly recommend.
Cons
It is very fast-paced and it does at times feel like you will have to juggle a lot. However, if you can do it then you'll be amazed at how far you have come.

RecommendsI worked at Tessian full-time
Pros
- The product and branding is easy to get behind as it is presented well and it's easy to understand the mission - Frequent socials, snacks, drinks and freebies (even during Covid) - The office is in a great location for commuting, lunch and post-work socialising
Cons
- The leadership can be quite misguided and haphazard in their decision making - Long working hours expected. Can feel like working your core hours isn't enough even if you get the job done. - A lot of focus on providing freebies/fun events but not in ensuring employees feel truly valued e.g. offering progression - A lot of favouritism. Certain employees are promoted well above their experience level.

Pros
In the past year post-covid, Tessian has come up with innovative and thoughtful ideas to keep employees engaged and made work-from-home as comfortable as possible. Besides rolling out new benefits during mental health week, Tessian also places Diversity and Inclusion forefront through engaging conversations. The culture of caring for each other is for me one of the top reasons to be in Tessian. Also intelligent people working towards an interesting mission.
Cons
Fast-paced work, and requires people to have initiative and direction in order to thrive

Pros
True software startup culture with huge potential to grow. An amazing young team in both engineering and commercial departments with great energy.
Cons
Not really, the office space is becoming increasingly smaller as the company grows but as everyone is working from home its all good.

Pros
Fast paced, dynamic work. Constantly challenging work that promotes incredible rate of professional growth. The leadership team is driving us towards a promising mission that resonates with a large customer segment. The People team has invested tremendously in refining and improving our company culture in the remote working era and this is much appreciated by all. There are excellent opportunities for progression within the company which are available for those prepared to be very proactive about going after what they want.
Cons
Very quick growth means constantly changing processes, trial and error and sometimes misalignment among management. Workload can be very intense at all times of the year and expectations are high throughout - can work very well for some.

Pros
Tessian is the best run startup I’ve ever seen! Great culture, great processes, and great people. Very supporting of employees in all respects. On the tech side, lots of interesting engineering challenges in applying machine learning to cybersecurity. The company is in the scale up phase, where there are lots of opportunities to make big progress in application, database, and algorithms sides. Without a doubt, the best tech startup to work for in the UK region!
Cons
Can't think of anything major.

Pros
The company managed to maintain a close-knit culture and perform well in 2020 and is closing out the year strong. Tessian has embraced remote working and has found unique ways to replicate in-office events and activities in fun and high-touch ways. Tessian is investing more into learning and development and I see a lot of positive steps already. Just completed DNI training and it was one of the best I've experienced in my career to-date.
Cons
It's a start up, straddling being agile/scrappy with building processes to scale so there are occasional teething issues.

Pros
Really great people to work with, personable and friendly. You'll make good friends and know that the people team do a lot to try and support peoples' growth at the company, being transparent, and manager support is really good. If you're interested in the work, it's a great fit.
Cons
Like any other startup/scale-up, it is workload. You will end up working long hours and there is a hesitancy to hire people in order to save costs, which means everybody works overtime
