Pros

Top-tier talent: High engineering standards are maintained. Majority of the team, including leadership, has a strong technical background. This makes a huge difference in how decisions are made. Culture of ownership: It’s a truly collaborative environment where you’re encouraged to speak up and improve existing systems. Hybrid energy: Even with a distributed UK workforce, the energy is fantastic when everyone gathers at the London office. It feels like a cohesive team rather than a group of strangers.

Cons

Total compensation: No bonuses, which is managed well through upfront communication. Operational overlap: Feels like "Too many cooks" on certain projects. Without stricter boundaries, multiple teams can find themselves working on the same problem space, which leads to redundant effort and decreased velocity.
