Pros

The developers are hardworking and pleasant to work with.

Cons

Directors and HR are unprofessional and unethical. Expected to work all the hours whist neither getting paid or the time back. Directors are rude to the point of being abusive. Constant fear of reprisal for the slightest things. Favouritism, ego and general bad practise from them will get in the way of you getting your job done properly. Left feeling anxious that I was incapable of doing a job I’ve been doing well in other companies for 7 plus years. The atmosphere is toxic and no one enjoys working there. 5 people left in the 6 months I was working there, that says it all I think!

Pros

Talented and hard working colleagues

Cons

Following the acquisition of the UK entity by what appears to be a Finland-focused group, significant organisational changes were implemented. During my time with the company, UK-based roles were largely reduced/made redundant, and there was a noticeable shift in focus away from the UK operation. Those made redundant were treated very poorly. Most of the senior positions also appeared to be replaced/filled by employees from the Finnish parent organisation, further reinforcing the perception that strategic decision-making and leadership were becoming increasingly centralised outside the UK. Many staff were concerned about their job security, and morale appeared to be at an all-time low. Concerns raised by employees were not always addressed satisfactorily, contributing to a decline in engagement and confidence in the organisation's direction. In recent months, a number of UK employees have also chosen to resign of their own accord, seemingly driven by job dissatisfaction and ongoing uncertainty around future roles and job security. Overall, the working environment became increasingly unsettled, making it difficult for employees to feel confident about the future.

Pros

The location of the office in London is good, and the building in which the office is located is nice.

Cons

This place will end your career. The mid-level engineers and sales team are very nice people and know what they are doing. Apart from them, the rest of the staff do not have a clue what they are doing. The higher-ups go on a hiring spree, then six months down the line, they fire everyone they hired for no reason, simply because they run out of money. If I could give this place negative one star, I would.
