Pros

There's a few good teams doing good work in Product and Tech, and if you can make your way there and find the right people , you can learn new valuable things

Cons

1) The leadership seems disconnected from reality. The Glassdoor reviews have plunged dramatically in a few quarters, and the leadership when asked about this type of stuff, doesn't seem to care. 2) Lots of MSDs and Managers retaliate openly by hurting your performance review scores and bonuses. 3) Doesn't care about real work, but being a show pony, which is often not the personality good developers often have.

Pros

Some good colleagues. Office location and parties. Work life balance taken well and they communicate a lot with people

Cons

The code is very messy. As bad as you can imagine. If you try to change some people can embarrass you. The Perl is the main language. No structure at all. You can push the code whenever you want. Retaliation from the management side. The directors are awful. They do only politics and care about their positions. Be careful of your health wellbeing. The company pushes so much so people get on burnout leaves.

Pros

People are alright if you are in the right team People team appear to listen to you and "sympathize"

Cons

Managers are liars Grievances dismissed due to manager claim of not remembering an incident Wages are never correct Absences are never entered correctly into the system Managers are not aware of any company proceedings You are essentially left to fend for yourself if you need assistance with anything environment related Lower level members of staff given the responsibilities of a manager over equal colleague feigns to be diverse/accepting but this could not be further from the truth

Hello, I see that you worked with us for over 3 years and am sorry that you left feeling this way. I appreciate your nod to our People Team, who care, Mental health is a serious topic, and an area where we have invested a lot of time and money. We have Mental Health First Aiders across the business, who along with our Ethics Ambassadors are available to all colleagues. We offer workshops on topics such as stress management and resilience. We also offer a full access to our Employee Assistance programme, Life Works for all colleagues should they want to talk to professionals outside of our business. Plus we work with Port of Call for any colleagues who are struggling with addiction. In fact we do so much in this area I'm not aware of many businesses that offer their colleagues more. I’d be happy to listen to the other issues you raise, I take these claims seriously and trust you’ll understand when I dispute a general comment such as “wages are never correct” this is not the case; as I said, feel free to reach out to me, if you want to pick this up. I wish you well, Ryan.
