Pros

Some genuinely good people exist here

Cons

The single most dysfunctional company I've worked for and it's driven from the CEO downwards. False panic is written into the company ethos, on day one you will be taught to 'act with urgency at all times'... You're not saving lives here, you're making coffee machines and vacuum cleaners. Each week there will be a new false drama, sparked by over caffeinated decision makers at the weekly show and tell that will send whole programmes into a tail spin. The energy in the office is more often than not nervous and sweaty. I've never met so many great people struggling with their mental health and in nearly all cases it was driven by this place. I worked here for a long time and it wasn't until I left that I realised how big of an impact working here was having on the rest of my life. If you enjoy being paid money to turn off your moral compass, be compliant and learn practices that are non-transferable to any other company then come work here.

Pros

Some good peers that make the days slightly bearable with the group chat of how ridiculous and hellish the place is

Cons

The speed and agility are just code names for ceo paranoia and inability to make and stick to decisions. Toxic environment perpetuated by the lifers. Entire departments are pit against each other. A culture of public shaming and blaming with a side of discrimination and misogyny. It is absolute chaos and makes you regress professionally because after a while all you do is “yes” the ceo and do things the Shark way which is essentially the Mark way and 0% what other orgs would do or what you learned about/experienced previously. Micromanaging starts from the very top. Product issues daily. People cry daily. Ridiculously high turnover. So much bullying and favoritism. Extremely top heavy and lots of VPs+ to attend meetings but not enough people to actually work. Those in leadership are also unprofessional and liabilities. No work life balance. No respect. Backstabby. Even the meeting are aggressive and called hacks, red teams, sledge hammer approach etc. The best way to be successful here is to be a super caffeinated visible sycophant that is fine with no life outside of work. People note the high comp but it’s not worth it and is not enough compared to the hours actually worked and all the stress and anxiety that comes with it. The moral and mental health here are the lowest I’ve ever seen.
