Pros
  • The pay is just about aligned with the industry standard.
  • Sometimes the snacks are good.
Cons
  • Just announced that due to increased headcount in the London office, tech employees have to come in on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday instead of Tuesday through Thursday. Doing this without prior warning or discussions shows a complete lack of respect for current employees. It's like they don't care about people who have to make childcare or travel arrangements. Surely the sensible thing to do is to reduce the number of office days for everyone instead of making everyone upend their lives again.
  • As an engineer, it feels like most of my time is spent either migrating between different tools and tech stacks, depending on the whims of senior leadership, or trying to detangle the spaghetti-like dependencies between different teams in order to implement the most simple features. If you want to work somewhere where you can grow your skills as an engineer, look elsewhere.
Advice to Management

There's no point giving advice to management. They've shown time and time again that they do not care and are unable to be flexible. I'm only writing this review to warn other engineers of what it's like to work here.
