Pros
Remote working and great colleagues.
Kontras
The negative reviews you’ve likely seen are accurate. Layoffs occur frequently, every 3–6 months, with little rhyme or reason—it feels like names are drawn at random. There’s been a pay freeze since December 2023, with no raises expected until profitability, which seems a distant goal. Meanwhile, the executive team has ensured their own promotions and salary increases during 2024, with minimal pay improvements for junior staff. The company lacks diversity, with an all-white, male C-suite and only a small number of ethnically diverse employees across other teams. Employees are pressured to leave glowing reviews on Glassdoor to offset the flood of negative feedback. Performance Improvement Plans (PIPs) are handed out without prior warning or justification, leaving staff blindsided. Leadership frequently leans on the buzzwords “change” and “scrappy startup” as excuses for disorganised management and the absence of a clear business plan or structure. Expect long hours and high-pressure workloads, as layoffs have left teams stretched thin. New hires receive minimal support, with a weak onboarding process adding to the challenges. Finally, the financial management is dismal—despite raising £25 million in Series B funding, the funds have been depleted in under two years, reflecting a lack of fiscal discipline and strategic foresight.
