Business Outlook

Pros

Mission driven company with many opportunities to make a real impact. No ‘minimum days in office’ mandate’- you’re treated like a grown up with autonomy to work however suits you best. Modern offices with great shower facilities, kitchen, coffee/tea and snacks. Fast pace of change as the company scales and grows. Every day is a learning day. If you’re in a stagnant role and looking to change, working here will feel like jumping into a rocket ship.

Cons

Core benefits can’t compete with more mature corporates yet - this will change as the company grows.
