Pros
- Compared to city standards, it's OK workplace - Brand - Perks - Young environment (let's say is good) - Have fun, relax, nice espresso
Cons
- It's an IT department. A support/operational/execution center. There's no innovation. - You can barely find teams that are built based on skills or previous experience. - Zero growth/career plan - they give you access to a bunch of learning platforms but they don't really care or assist you with what you should learn and how to grow. Wouldn't be surprised if i see QA people with "Making the first drug in practice for dummies" certification. - Engineers less than 5-10%. If you find some then they are under-utilised. - Hierarchy based place. - Roles VS Experience is an issue in there. You can find lots of people with more that 15y of experience and yet are Sr Associates and Managers with 2/3y of experience. - Salaries are bad calculated. - Old tech to work with. - Work life balance is not that good but I've seen many people working extra hours - mainly because of the US/UK overlap. - Old fashioned US/UK managers with zero tech background - Definitely not a place for Engineers
