Pros

Friendly Staff Flexible working The Executive Leadership Team are trying to make the best of a bad situation and push for positivity and progress

Cons

First and foremost, this is not a bad company. However, it is now owned by Private Equity Groups, who will want to sell on in the next 3-5 years. Consultants have come in and driven a series of cuts which have seen job losses across Europe and North America. Years of experience has been ripped out of the company which, coupled with a chaotic system re-launch, have brought processes to a standstill. This company will be broken into pieces and sold off, so would suit individuals who are used to changing jobs every couple of years. If you're looking for a long-term home to build your career and expertise, this is not a safe bet. If you aren't integral to the big-money products, you are not relevant.

Pros

Opportunity to work with talented colleagues across North America, EMEA, and APAC. Flexible work environment with a strong emphasis on work-life balance for many teams. Complex, global business challenges that provide opportunities to develop operational, strategic, and cross-functional leadership skills. Exposure to enterprise transformation, AI, digital modernization, and large-scale operational initiatives. Collaborative teams with many dedicated employees who genuinely care about customers and each other. Ability to work with highly educated professionals across multiple disciplines and industries.

Cons

Organizational complexity and frequent restructuring can make decision-making slower than necessary. Roles, ownership, and priorities are not always clearly defined, which can create duplication of effort and reduce execution speed. Cross-functional collaboration varies significantly across organizations and often depends on individual leaders rather than consistent operating practices. Communication during organizational change could be more transparent and timely. Career progression can be challenging in certain parts of the organization due to ongoing structural changes. Continued investment in leadership alignment and organizational simplification would improve employee engagement and operational effectiveness.
