Pros

Positive working environment, flexible attitude towards time-off, office culture largely inclusive, interesting & intelligent workforce, ability to raise and discuss concerns openly. Great office in a great location.

Cons

A real lack of transparency between staff and management, which is a problem that incorporates both immediate management (Supervisors/Line Managers etc) and higher-tier management. Plans can change very quickly with little or no notice given to the departments that these changes impact. There is no discernable career path to follow, and on occasion promotions are gained largely through being louder (and thus more well known) than your counterparts. There's a sense that you can work well in your role and exceed your targets, but if you're not the type of person to brag about such achievements then you could still be overtaken by someone doing less but who attends more social events. 1:1's are an afterthought, and career development meetings tend to feel like the box-ticking for the managers so that they can say that they've carried them out.

Pros

Benefits are great, peers are highly technical and customers love the product. Creative thinking is expected and rewarded. Customer comes first.

Cons

Happiness depends a lot on what team you join. Meet the people and manager to make sure its a good fit. Work is not always technically challenging.

Pros

1. Benefits are good 2. Complementary lunches 3. Culture / Events 4. Tuition Reimbursement

Cons

1. Management needs training. The initial 2 days training doesn't cut it. 2. HR does not seem to care about the employees and helping them if they have issues/concerns. They seem to be more worried about bringing the employee count up. 3. Overworked / Underpaid. 4. Horrible pay increases. You can be a strong performer and only receive 1% increase. The only way to get a good increase is to be promoted. But, that is something hard to do as they seem to hand pick the one(s) they want, and write the job recs for job postings fit for that specific person(s). 5. Politics, politics, politics! 6. You feel unvalued. 7. No space! They keep bringing in more employees which is great, but have NO place to put them. 8. Micromanagement in FULL force
