No Empathy, Terrible Management

Anonymous employee

Pros

Very competitive pay and excellent benefits. Opportunity to work with extremely bright people in a fast-paced and cutting-edge tech company.

Cons

No emphasis on people management. The C-level executives set a poor example of personal conduct in the way they let their personal lives bleed into their professional lives (The CMO & CFO are married). Upper management displays a shocking lack of empathy. Long-time employees can be fired and not even thanked for their service. Upper management's behavior affects the entire organization negatively, resulting in the formation of cliques, and creating paranoia across teams.

Pros

- free snacks - ping pong and playstation - if that stuff at work impresses you - the chance to spend the office social budget on your own personal gains if you can get yourself into the social committee!

Cons

- little chance of progressing - extremely unpleasant, cynical, uninterested HR - awful cross-department communications - psychological bullying - favouritism - lots of stupid meetings - no belief in diversity or equality - its just lip service and box-ticking - London office is a toxic environment full of cliquey, tryhard, backstabbing people - regular redundancies and "overhauls"
