Pros

Good work life balance Job security

Cons

Senior leadership is weak Travel ban, we can’t even travel from London to Oxford to meet colleagues HR openly says that career progression can happen only by moving internally Very very hard to attend tech conferences abroad Lower salary than some other equally big companies Individual contributors are treated as second class citizen, easy to get to the top band and then the only way up is taking up management
