Pros

Some Smart colleagues, casual feeling culture. Good work-life balance depending on role.

Cons

Crap pay and most roles have no clear progression path. Internal moves are difficult and you’ll do your new job for at least 6months before being formally promoted (‘policy’). Lots of woke nonsense being promulgated with special events and opportunities if you happen to be female or non white. I know this also feeds into hiring and promotion decisions.

Pros

The company is presented as a young and dynamic environment, at least from an external communication point of view.

Cons

Unfortunately, the internal reality is very different. Career progression mainly favors people who are close to management or who know how to please the right individuals, while meritocracy clearly comes second. Losing valuable employees does not seem to concern upper management at all. Many department heads lack experience and competence, which leads to constant issues, misunderstandings, and organizational problems that directly impact daily work and team morale. The company promotes itself as “young and dynamic,” yet hires employees over 60 whose experience does not appear to be properly assessed or effectively leveraged, creating a strong inconsistency between image and reality. Salaries are not competitive compared to the market. Salary increases and bonuses are very low and demotivating. Benefits are either almost non-existent or purely symbolic.
