Pros

Talented employees – There are hardworking and skilled individuals who manage to keep things running despite ongoing challenges. Industry potential – If the company establishes and follows a clear strategy, there could be long-term success. * Occasional perks – Small benefits like free coffee are one of the more consistent aspects of the workplace.

Cons

Lack of transparency on compensation – Commission structures and sales compensation plans are unclear, frequently changing, and often not communicated effectively. This leads to frustration and uncertainty among the sales team. * Frequent strategy shifts – The company undergoes major strategic changes every year, making it difficult for employees, customers, and even leadership to keep up. A long-term vision is needed to provide stability. * Workplace culture concerns – There is a culture of internal competition rather than collaboration. Teamwork could be improved with clearer communication and accountability. * Unstructured work environment – Reporting structures, job roles, and processes lack clarity, making it difficult for employees to understand their responsibilities. Leadership decisions often feel reactive rather than strategic.

Pros

Impact. Given Merlin is not the biggest company, every employee truly makes a difference to the bottom line, which is nice to know your work matters. If you want, you get to see the end to end business. It's a pretty flat organization, and people are informal so you have easy access to leadership without numerous levels in between, should you want it. Company is nimble / flexible / creative - a very nice switch up if you've come from a big company. The office is pretty close to brand new / very nice, for whenever COVID ends.

Cons

Everybody's impact at Merlin matters and some people prefer a job where they can just coast. As a maturing company, we are still fine tuning processes, which again some people might not be comfortable with but it is clearly the path to a more sophisticated organization overall.
