      Pros

      Strong sales team in the UK office that understands the market and the product. Fast paced sales which can fit someone who likes to work on alot of opportunities at a time with a short sales cycle.

      Cons

      Feels like decisions are always made from overseas without much regard for what the UK team needs

      Very Bizarre Experience

      Pros

      Seemed to be a great company to work for, vocal emphasis on diversity Opportunities to manage the trajectory of your own career are real but its all on you to strategise and what you'll put up with to get there. Which is alot and may come at the cost of your physical and mental health.

      Cons

      The rapid growth is seeing a lot to under-qualified leaders in the captain seat who are unable to spot/retain valuable talent. Had been warned throughout the entire process that this company core values and work culture as advertised, was misleading. Despite all warnings I carried on until I saw it first hand. Beware the glowing reviews: these places actually have days where employees are required to input positive reviews to bury the bad ones. Depending on subscription a company can also remove unfavorable reviews! I say: give more weight to the negative reviews in making your decision to work here. Because they are actually most truthful.
