Lovely company, but limited progression and below-average wages

Business Outlook

Pros

A perfect work-life balance combined with a friendly team and lots of little perks.

Cons

Salaries are below average from my experience and it is impossible to talk about pay rises, as you aren't allowed to bring them up in your appraisals. The office is overwhelmingly white and middle-class. There is a big focus on improving diversity, but that is directed at race only; if you're from outside of London and/or working class, you'll feel like you stick out.

Business Outlook

Pros

CEO and Upper Management are incredibly accessible and open Nimble and easy to move and shift Minimal bureaucracy Trusting Kind Fair Visionaries Good pay Good products Work life balance

Cons

I have worked at 4 companies in the industry and after 2 years here, I cannot think of a con. It is by far an incredible place to be. The industry is changing a lot so that could be hard for an outsider but from someone in the industry, this company is incredible.
