Pros

The team is amazing. The culture is very open and informal. Possibilities for personal growth.

Cons

No options to work part-time unless there are circumstances like having a kid or completing studies. Could be a bigger focus on personal development within the company from the beginning of your time there

Business Outlook

Pros

Some really strong team members who stood out. Nice office and good location, the product and vision was strong but hit hard by covid.

Cons

Very high attrition due to hiring a lot of transfers from the NZ office on short term visas who would then have to leave, teams weren't able to meet targets, kind of 'fratty' culture with heavy drinking.
