Pros

- Colleagues at my level are mostly quite cool and chill. - The office can look quite pretty, and there's a small selection of coffee and biscuits. - They have an internal mobility portal for applying to other roles within the company.

Cons

- Management has taken on a more top-down, commanding approach. They want you to do something, and you just have to get it done. - Constantly cutting team budgets, and without reducing workload. Recently, team budget has been allocated based on how much AI you can cram into products. - Long term external employees suddenly getting let go with no one to replace them. - Middle management doesn't show a lot of interest in employees. Lack of communication to employees, with concerns left unaddressed. - Management imposed a large scale transition of development environments into a less functional environment that was missing key development features in order to cut costs.

Pros

- People are great to work with. - Less micromanagement (depends on the team) - Great WLB - Free Cab service provided.

Cons

- The tech is lagging behind industry standard (it is catching up) - Things and decisions move around more slowly, given that it is a highly risk-compliant company, so it might be difficult sometimes to get things done. - At some point, work might get repetitive
