Pros

Very good atmosphere inside the company and between all teams. Great benefits and compensation for staff. They look after about all staff and support new starters. Good to join this company and develop your career.

Cons

Every day multitask work and sometimes to much work for only one person but this can be challenging. Also I think we need more holiday.

Thank you for recognising the quality of our work atmosphere and our commitment to career development. We know things can get strenuous at times, which is why we've recently reviewed how work gets allocated to individuals. Our standard UK holiday entitlement will also be increasing to 25 days in 2017 with an option to buy an extra 3 days ensuring all our employees have ample time to recharge outside of work. Personally I try and take a little break every 3 months and recommend people do the same. In addition, we are reviewing our benefits and entitlement globally. I totally agree that communication can always be improved and we have a few things up our sleeve for the coming year which we think will help us all stay aligned at key times.

Pros

Very few pros come to mind, there were some great people on the individual contributor level I worked with across multiple teams however many left or are on their way out.

Cons

This is a highly toxic and disorganized work environment. Leadership’s lack of knowledge, direction, and experience is apparent. When I started, leadership was disengaged and disconnected to everything. I noticed there was a sudden and obvious change in leadership’s approach where “urgent” asks from above were being requested with little to no context. Unrealistic and changing expectations started being communicated as the norm. This caused confusion, chaos, and burn out, resulting in extremely low morale across teams. Concerns and feedback were either ignored or people were penalized/suddenly terminated for speaking up. Lastly, it doesn’t go unsaid there is no work life balance or professional boundaries here. This is a work environment that sets people up for failure and can have a serious impact on overall well-being.
