Pros
I absolutely love this company and can honestly say that I am as driven to succeed and passionate about the mission as the day I started. I have experienced huge change in two years which has been a real thrill, yet I feel like I am only just getting started. The camaraderie is great and the people I work with are real friends. In London we are a small team and we look out for each other. I really appreciate the opportunity that I have been given and my favourite part of the job is that we are breaking new ground in Europe. The senior management team are fantastic and I have a lot of respect for them. I believe we will be very successful and we are going in the right direction.
Cons
The hours are often quite long since we always have a lot to do and we have to conduct a lot of conference calls with the US near the end of our working day. The salary and bonus are good but the benefits are not yet up to scratch. There's a lot of pressure, which might not suit everyone but I don't mind it. There has been huge growth and a lot of new senior hires recently so it does feel like we have lost some of the early start-up vibe at HQ. In Europe we are still scrappy though. Overall, the cons are really minor.
