Pros

Some really strong team members who stood out. Nice office and good location, the product and vision was strong but hit hard by covid.

Cons

Very high attrition due to hiring a lot of transfers from the NZ office on short term visas who would then have to leave, teams weren't able to meet targets, kind of 'fratty' culture with heavy drinking.
