Pros

OK pay compared in London. I like the product as a user.

Cons

Product managers are in a constant state of panic. Nobody cares what you implement as long as it goes to production as soon as possible.

People are not friendly. I hated having meetings with my own team.

Tech is in a horrible shape. The CI pipeline can break for DAYS, but you still have deadlines to catch, so go figure, lol.

There is no real test environment, only staging, which can only have the latest master. This means that you ship things to production without actually seeing them running anywhere else. Now, I like automated tests as much as the next guy, but I still want to see my code running somewhere.

Finally, I must mention that I quit this job before landing the next one. I actually did not want to do interviews while being this stressed at work.
