Pros

- very casual dress code - possible to work from home - they don't discriminate age - easy to get on with people

Cons

- be ready to share with the entire team when you go to the toilet - must call in every day again if you are sick for multiple days in a row - they say they don't pay to watch the clock, but they really do - purely statistics based - very controlling and expect you to share a lot of personal information with managers - says they are inclusive, but not really if you have any mental conditions (anxiety, depression, ADHD etc)

Pros

Some members of the company are the best people you’ll ever meet.

Cons

Genuinely a complete mess. Incompetent, passive aggressive leadership that repeatedly makes both poor and confusing company decisions. I have some absolutely crazy stories from things I’ve witnessed here. There’s things that are so bizarre and dysfunctional, they belong in an alternate reality.
