Great company, leadership a bit confusing

Pros

Great culture and lifestyle benefits, diverse teams and mobility across UK and Europe. Engineering is fun here for the most part!

Cons

Leadership doesn’t feel amazing. Rapid expansion is creating a vanishing culture. Offices are small and the brand is focused more so on being cutesy and almost childish that it’s hard to take seriously
