Limited engineering growth

Software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Competitive starting salary, good bonus and benefits. London office and culture amazing although dwindling this year. Relatively mature technology platform.

Cons

There's a persistent reluctance to take timely or any action for underpeforming employees. In engineering decisions are autocractic with teams having limited autonomy. No long term architecture vision. Requires technical leadership and structure changes to grow beyond current organisation. Although starting salary is good, the salary review process is impersonal and based on perceived market rate.

An ambitious company striving to get it right when it comes to growth

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Communication and ideas sharing is encouraged. Openness to new ideas. Flat management structure. Very easy to talk to senior management. Great people team. Makes use of new technologies and agile practices - not just in development, The fleet pod structure creates higher degrees of autonomy.

Cons

The downsides that come with rapid growth - can be quite chaotic and things change quickly. Turning from a small startup to a larger global company means that things are becoming more standardised and checkboxed. This is not necessarily bad - depends on what you want.

Amazing company and tech skillset

Software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Smart people Highly skilled development/engineering team Leadership that is willing to acknowledge when they are wrong People don't take themselves too seriously, they take their work seriously Friendly colleagues Frequent manager catchups Senior Management willing to listen to your opinion (better bring facts though) Compoany provides excellent work tools Medical Aid Free massages Free Lunch

Cons

Company learning to scale properly Not a large set of benefits The company doesn't take probation seriously, basically, everyone gets through which means if you find out someone isn't as good as they said they were and fooled the recruitment process, you're stuck with them.
