Pros

All in a picture, nothing in reality. Very disappointed, complained to HR about my manager, they didn't even listen. From what I hear left and right, people are not happy and either actively searching for another company or thinking about that.

Cons

Pro Ukrainians, god forbid you are Russian, You are not gonna make it. They make your life miserable, very political place and nothing good about work life balance. Once Mike B. stepped out, it all started to go downhill. Bunch of trainings on harassment's, but when it comes to a real deal, all quiet like nothing happening and useless, nobody doing anything to prevent or follow up.

Business Outlook

Pros

Stunning building and facilities, free snacks, bottomless soft drinks, Friday afternoon treats. Prestigious name, stands out on CV, opportunities to travel.

Cons

Relentless micromanaging. Mandatory hours are 08:00 to 18:00 ie ten hours a day and very closely monitored. Not participating in the company pro bono initiatives could cost you your bonus. Very low bonuses. Limited to zero opportunities for career advancement. Dictatorial in that office attendance is monitored very closely, with the threat of disciplinary action for non-compliance. Hybrid working is frowned upon; the until recently 2 days wfh were reduced to 1 overnight with zero notice, despite promises it would carry on indefinitely and will be taken away soon to return to full time in office working. Caste like promotion system.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great company. Products are interesting to work on.

Cons

Pay is below market and growth is slow, in job title and more importantly pay. Almost mafia like with loyalty to the company. If you quit, you are unlikely welcome back for another role.
