Pros

Best benefits package ever Great London office, free drinks, food, ping-pong, PS2, nerf guns etc Big budget for work hardware and software with great IT support Fantastic on-boarding in Dublin Generally nice people Company strived to create a friendly environment

Cons

Applied for Enterprise Account Strategist (ISR) role, which on paper seemed interesting and broad (mix of new business and working with accounts), in reality it was a pure cold/warm calling and emailing role. Initially booking x new meetings a week then increased to x meetings. The weekly team catch-up was simply 'have you got your x meetings'?, and an earful if someone hadn't. The biz dev and sales 'strategy' worked well for a time but clearly wasn't sustainable, though Head of Biz Dev was having none of it. I left at the end of probation which was justified as I later heard nearly the entire sales team had been offloaded. As you might expect with a West Coast US tech firm in London, there was a big left-wing political bias. UK country Manager wanted to make a public company statement in support of remaining in the EU, which made me feel marginalised.
