Pros

Everyone is very talented. This applies to people in every single role, not just devs Interesting projects and technology Great culture, we are actively encouraged to experiment and innovate - management take this very seriously and drive a lot of this. Good pay and benefits Friendly colleagues

Cons

Security can be a pain. You get used to it somewhat and it is understandable but there are still a lot of times when you think "why can't I just do XYZ". Still a lot of tech debt on older projects Support rota can be stressful but this varies a lot between teams

Pros

Competitive compensation. Some skilled colleagues who try their best under challenging conditions. Good coffee free lunch

Cons

No confidence in the CEO or Executive leadership. They avoid accountability and fail to address long-standing internal dysfunction. Lack of qualifications and skills for some executives and staff. Favourites gets rewards and promotions regardless of poor leadership skills or qualifications. Executive politics rampant. Blame routinely shifted, priorities change abruptly and high turnover among talented staff. Poor communication from senior leaders; goals unclear, frequent sudden changes, team structures confusing, staff expected to resolve cross-department issues without authority. Workplace culture marred by micromanagement, different opinions, changes, lack of up to date tech and scapegoating which leads to a poor environment. Innovation and strategic feedback discouraged. Genuine professional development unsupported. Most success comes from self-protection and playing office politics with the right people rather than any real support or clarity from management.
