Pros

Nice people, rapid growth that opens new opportunities, but...

Cons

Immature leadership, lack of transparency around pay, salaries below market and fake promises of unlimited holidays. Changes that affect employees happened with short notice. In my opinion, they should stop asking new starters to add reviews here, as they are not reflecting the reality.
