Pros

- Fantastic work/life balance (it's never been suggested that I need to work a single hour over my 40 hour contract) and decent benefits including plenty of paid holiday - Highly competitive compensation, significantly more so than existing salaries on Glass door would suggest. - Varied work with a range of tasks keeps things interesting - Pretty relaxed low-stress, no-blame workplace where engineers and managers are focused on solving problems together instead of pointing fingers.

Cons

- Limited WFH to only a few days a month for some roles - Major restructuring recently has left significant operational support burden for many teams - historically tight security policy and everything being integrity controlled can make it harder to make new things

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.
