Pros

The culture here is fantastic; there are so many things that just work well together. For example, most engineers choose which team to join after the first 6 weeks or so, which encourages a lot of really positive behaviors.

The company is also really open, allowing everyone to make great decisions. If you need access to some data, you probably have it available.

We have good tools and infrastructure that allow us to focus on the important things. Things like booking a meeting room, following up on a task in a common system, and many other things are just easy, using great tools that an internal team builds and maintains.

I also think that the engineering-led approach to product development and a willingness to try things is really special, and allows us to be more bold than most other companies.

Oh, and the free food! Breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with lots of great options, both healthy and not-so-healthy.

Cons

It's not a great place if you value being in charge, or being told specifically what to do and when. Everyone is expected to be self-led to a large extent.

There also is relatively little documentation. If you want to find out something, most often you need to ask someone rather than read a document.

Advice to Management

Keep it going, and keep supporting London as a key growth site.
