Pros

Working from home flexibility. Nice offices.

Cons

Chaotic leadership environment. There is a glaring lack of respect for technical expertise; if you are a doer who delivers, then expect to be stalled. Career progression is reserved exclusively for those skilled in corporate theatre and blame shifting. The internal atmosphere is governed by fear. Critical thinking is treated as insubordination. This means that real project risks and problems are hidden until they explode, at which point the inevitable delays are blamed on the technical staff rather than the systemic lack of communication. HR feels more aligned with management interests than employee support. Rather than mediating or supporting staff, they act as a filter to identify anyone who raises legitimate concerns. Providing honest feedback is a career ending move. Senior execs operate with a patronising attitude, openly dismissing client requirements under the toxic assumption that the customer doesn't know what they want. Morale is decimated, driven by a leadership team that is either fundamentally incapable of empathy or intentionally indifferent to the workforce they are burning through.

Pros

Flexible Working Hours Hybrid Working Career Progression All-Company Days Salary and Benefits Friendly Culture with minimal hierarchy feeling (I feel able to have a chat with our board without any nerves, both about work related topics and random ones such as football, holidays, hobbies etc...). I feel very supported by my manager and really love working within my team - Lifelong friends have been made here, I was given flexibility to navigate my work through a bereavement without any pressure from the business, The business sent a bouquet of flowers after a significant personal life event, which really makes a difference compared to previous places I have worked where I feel like I am only valued in the 9-5.

Cons

None that really come to mind
