Pros

Nice office along the Thames

Cons

Going though layoffs and offering the bare minimum. They put out a misleading article claiming to offer 12 weeks redundancy starting from Feb 9th, but in actuality doesn't apply to UK employees who are being laid off on April. So essentially they dressed up regular salary + notice period pay as a part of a "enhanced redundancy package". They revealed the real redundancy package later, the majority of people getting only 3 weeks of redundancy pay on top of their notice period. And to top it all off, they claim they are being generous. The execs are totally out of touch and bringing toxic Amazon practices like stacked ranking to the company.

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.
