Pros

Moves fast and working towards solving important solutions. The work is at cutting edge of energy markets, loads of nice and clever people. Modern tech infrastructure

Cons

Tendency to be spread to thin and have work dumped on you. People who care are overworked and the no limit annual leave policy means those who contribute less take more (compounding the problem). The equity scheme benefits early joiners a bit more, blocks new progression and allows some bad managers a level of comfort.

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.
