Pros: As a Customer Success Manager, I really appreciated the hybrid work model. Being able to work from home a couple of days a week was great. It's a solid perk for a growing fintech startup.
Cons: The "flexibility" isn't super consistent across all teams. Some teams, especially in operations, seemed to need more in-office time at the London office. It can feel a bit rigid sometimes.
Advice to Management: Try to standardize the hybrid policy across all departments more clearly. It would help everyone feel like they have the same opportunities for flexible hours and WFH.

Pros: I really liked the hybrid model, it made the commute to the London office manageable. As a Junior Product Manager, I felt like I had pretty good control over my daily schedule most weeks. It's a decent environment for a fintech startup.
Cons: There are definitely busy periods, especially around product launches. Sometimes I'd find myself working longer hours to hit deadlines for the property investment platform. The expectation to be 'always on' can be tough for work-life balance.
Advice to Management: Try to better manage workloads during peak times. Clearer communication about expectations around 'always on' availability would help. Support your teams to avoid burnout, especially in a fast-paced startup environment.
