You need to be a specific type of person to thrive here.
Pros
- Unlimited holiday truly holds up. - Free office lunches. - Nice engineers & cross-functional team members. - Actually a good work life balance, rarely work past 5.30/6pm and people don’t tend to start until 9am at the earliest. - Interesting industry if you enjoy sports.
Cons
- Far too acquisition-heavy. Leads to a very reactive way of working, suddenly needing to pivot to integrating a new system. There’s no plan. - We never stop to evaluate whether what we’re building is even being used, let alone do enough research before committing weeks towards a new feature. - Completely project-based; if you’re looking for somewhere to be more product-minded, it’s not really here. - We spend a lot of effort building for specific customers (who we aren’t even sure will use/commit to the new feature). - Very difficult to get promotion. - Mediocre salary for industry standards. - Parental benefits only focus on getting pregnant rather than post-baby care.
