Danger: Culture reversing, beep beep beep
Pros
Note: comments are WW, not directed at UK business. Great people, great tech, amazing customer base, good benefits (historically)
Cons
Stagnant internal culture becoming increasingly toxic. Reverting back to the bad 'old' Microsoft: everything is an execution problem, everything can be fixed with a checklist and a meeting, growth is never high enough, massive audio-video disconnect between what leadership espouses around collaboration, growth, empowerment - and what actually happens. The company seems to want to 'cut it's way to success' - freezing salary increases for staff, freezing open roles, cutting headcount, marketing, t&E, R&D (you can see it in this qtrs earnings - 24% net income growth on 1.3% opex growth). We're becoming more rigid, internally focussed, bureaucratic, less flexible, less creative, more internally competitive with each other.
