      Pros

      Lovely direct team (trauma bonded), good product allocation

      Cons

      I have never seen a company do a 180 in such a short about of time. A new C-suite team that have categorically destroyed the company, culture, and reputation. You’ll have no voice, no direction, and unclear priorities. Leadership is money hungry and do not care for the team. The team are overworked, underpaid, and under valued. Wouldn’t recommend to my worst enemy

      Pros

      Fun, lovely people to work with. Briefs always changing need to find a better strategy as it was always hard to stick to one way of working. No 2 days the same but often not enough hours to complete all the tasks . Enjoyable If you can keep up with the pace

      Cons

      Didn't have proper structure in place, managementbalways changing mind to decide on product decisions

      Pros

      Some amazing people, trauma bonded for sure but… amazing nevertheless - free product - quite flexible which keeps a lot of people here, but it’s not worth it

      Cons

      It used to be the most amazing place to work. However unfortunately times have changed due to chaotic and very questionably behaved leadership. If you’re passionate about your work and value your mental health, tread VERY carefully. The ‘rumours’ you are hearing are true…behind the scenes lies an ever growing toxic culture. Smile, nod, and basically don’t breathe the wrong way. Wouldn’t recommend if you like boundaries, support, or being treated like a human. Most people don’t pass probation or leave within months starting because the goalposts constantly change, leaving people feeling awful about themselves and out of a job - so please also bare this in mind!
