Pros

- Central location in London - Nice office - Nothing else really

Cons

- Toxic and unsupportive culture within the finance team. - Leads discourage growth if you challenge their views, knowledge or working styles. Fragile ego unfortunately. - Lack of healthy discussions over any technical aspects leading to waste of knowledgeable resource. - Very poor management — rude, dismissive, and lacking people skills. - No clear priorities or deadlines, leading to constant confusion. - Gaslighting and blame culture are common. - Leads lack technical knowledge and struggle to guide the team effectively. - Strong Estonian dominance — poor communication, constant intervention, and exclusionary behaviour. - Startup in a shinny rapper, lacks proper processes, deadlines, expectationd and clear structure. - A very controlling environment where if you challenge leads over technical aspects for a accurate and better outcome, insltead of working as a team, they take it on their ego. -Overall, not a healthy environment for anyone seeking respect, growth, or professionalism.

Pros

Generous PTO, Health Insurance, great people to work with.

Cons

There are no processes established. Upper Management don’t care to listen to concerns about systems not meeting needs and are okay with you taking the blame and bullying from other employees for their pay discrepancies due to the system they chose not meeting needs.
