      Great if you thrive under pressure with limited access to positivity

      Thanks for the review. Building a historic company comes with no easy feat. During challenging times, we aim to be proactive in order for our culture to remain as positive as possible. We’re sorry if that didn’t translate the same way for you, and will use this feedback as a key takeaway.

      Driven, energetic place

      Pros

      If you want to work in an environment surrounded by passionate and motivated people, this place is for you. Lots of room to make an impact and lots of room for growth.

      Cons

      Company is moving fast, takes on a lot of initiatives and as a result you get asked to deliver a lot and sometimes get pulled in a new direction you didn't anticipate. But that's what makes it fun for us - may not be right for everyone though.

      Pros

      Free snacks (granola bars, crackers, nuts), daily fresh fruit, monthly desserts . Dax the CEO is a geniune leader. When he speaks, you'll feel motivated and energized.

      Cons

      Beware, the company culture is fake. They will lure you in with their free food, perks and smiling faces. They will tell you how amazing it it to work in a castle. Once you start working you'll quickly realize that its all a big show. The leadership team is inexperienced and are extremely poor at managing people. Unrealistic expectations, lots of pressure and long hours. Instead of motivating you, they will threaten you. Stay away.
