Pros

- Great colleagues - Broad scope of work and exciting projects - Junior staff given lots of responsibility - Free food when in the office

Cons

- Lack of clear strategy from senior leadership - Constantly changing goal posts - Seems to be a focus on quantity of work rather than quality at times - Constantly given unachievable timelines for projects - 'Fast pace' talked about but is a bi-word here for chaos - Communication outside working hours e.g. Slacks and emails very early in the morning, late at night and on weekends and expected to attend meetings outside contracted working hours regularly

Pros

The company is presented as a young and dynamic environment, at least from an external communication point of view.

Cons

Unfortunately, the internal reality is very different. Career progression mainly favors people who are close to management or who know how to please the right individuals, while meritocracy clearly comes second. Losing valuable employees does not seem to concern upper management at all. Many department heads lack experience and competence, which leads to constant issues, misunderstandings, and organizational problems that directly impact daily work and team morale. The company promotes itself as “young and dynamic,” yet hires employees over 60 whose experience does not appear to be properly assessed or effectively leveraged, creating a strong inconsistency between image and reality. Salaries are not competitive compared to the market. Salary increases and bonuses are very low and demotivating. Benefits are either almost non-existent or purely symbolic.
