Pros

recognizable brand, decent clients, very nice colleagues

Cons

nepotism, poor structure, reactive leadership, high turnover, broken processes nobody wants to fix Leadership is heavily family-driven, runs deep across senior roles and it shows in how decisions get made. Advancement feels less about performance and more about proximity to the right people. If you're not in that circle, you're just headcount. Operationally the company has real problems that nobody seems motivated to fix. Processes that should be straightforward are chaotic. Tools are underutilized, workflows are poorly structured, and when you flag issues you get acknowledged and then ignored. The attitude from the top seems to be hire more people to patch the symptoms rather than fix the root cause. Management culture is inconsistent. Some managers are genuinely good people doing their best but the structure around them sets everyone up to fail. High turnover is not a coincidence here. people leave because the environment makes it hard to do good work and even harder to grow. Decisions get made with little visibility or input from the team. Communication is poor and job security feels uncertain even when you're performing. The reviews here that warned about favoritism and poor management are accurate. Wish I had read them more carefully.

Pros

I think there is a real positive energy about Pion, despite the fact that it is remote first. The people are what make a company for me and here there are so many driven and ambitious individuals who are generous with their time for new starters to help get you up to speed. The company went through some change in early 2025 and this was a difficult time for lots of us and I assume some of the reviews here are still writing about that. From what I see now, the company is now at a really exciting point with lots of growth. I'm excited to see what this means for us as a team. The holiday allowance is great at 30 days plus bank holidays, but the best pro for me at least is that there is lots of flexibility in terms of how you work.

Cons

At times the pace here makes things feel a little bit chaotic but this also keeps things feeling fresh. I've been with Pion for a couple of years now and I'm learning new stuff still.
