Pros

Still fairly dynamic and flexible despite the size.

Cons

What a joke. I think it’s six CTOs now in 10 years; that’s not normal.

The other reviews about nepotism are all true. The original few ‘partners’ do what they want, while the rest of us get the dirty jobs and don’t share in the returns.

They are intern crazy as well. Hundreds come in every year, and it’s a bit of a factory, to be honest.

Never mind the CTO revolving door; it’s the same with other roles. Most people can’t stick it for two years before they realize they’ll have a much better work/life balance at other firms.

Advice to Management

If you haven’t changed now, you never will. So maybe just go?
