Pros

- Most of the team are great and you can find real friends here, just don't take everything at face value. - Most people care about what they do, enjoy it, and are good at it. - Good product but needs further development.

Cons

- Overworked and underpaid, the company expects long hours to be worked and yet offer lower than standard wages for most but not all roles. - Lack of a good benefits package. - Management is reactive rather than proactive. Personally, I'd say it's disorganized, lacks stability, as well as a clear vision beyond 'Do anything to hit the numbers investors asked for'. I understand the importance of this but there is more to a company than targets, especially when considering daily management. - As the company continued to scale, culture diminished. As an example, the core values of ' Honesty and transparency' were quickly exchanged for 'Secret conversations and apparent lies'. - Pre-COVID19 having any kind of work-life balance was near impossible. The budget for well-being/team bonding has continued to decrease per-head since my first day and is now basically non-existent. - Working from home did help with work-life balance, although, who's to know what the future holds when offices are back to normal. Previously working from home was not a given but more of a luxury. This was due to some members of management believing working from home was simply an excuse to do no work. This was regardless of how much-proven experience of remote/fieldwork you entered the company with.

Pros

flatfair is a welcoming company that is open to new ideas and committed to employee growth. The commercial team is incredibly collaborative, allowing new employees to learn the product very quickly. Office days are tons of fun and allow for opportunities to engage in person and learn from each other. Everybody on the team has always made me feel welcome and is always willing to help.

Cons

I have no cons to mention.
