Respected for who you are and recognised for the hard work you put in. There are so many great people and you always feel supported. Lots of opportunities to grow in this fast growing business.

Pros

Honestly loved the people, they were the reason I stayed for so long. I’m still great friends with a lot of them now having left. Some of the projects are really interesting and you get exposed to a lot of cool things.

Cons

Pay - the lack of a pay structure and the fact (atleast in my team) you only had a pay review annually where you couldn’t request a certain salary, was extremely off putting. There’s also a lack of transparency around salaries. Management - certain management within ops was brilliant but within other teams, there’s a very hands off approach, leaving you to your own devices (which is great) but when you need support there’s nothing there. Stepping into a new role you’d expect some training not just being thrown into the deep end. HR - how a company of this size functions without having an HR department I don’t know. How can I raise an issue about my manager when they’re the only person I can go to? Or their manager who isn’t impartial? As some people have said it is just one big boys club.
