Pros

SB used to be a great place to work with great benefits and a great team culture but that has disappeared over the last several months.

Cons

There is an awful culture in the marketing team. There is no transparency as to where you stand. It’s easy to see that some people we used to love working for are burned out and they are getting “quite fired.” People are fearful for their jobs but are afraid to speak up. Leadership thinks a potluck is going to make up for the environment they have created. SMH.

Pros

Great work life balance and vacation time....

Cons

Many internal issues and felt like this last round of layoffs was to protect inadequate leaders vs hardworking employees. I understand companies do layoffs but this just felt like Senior management trying to protect themselves because they aren't doing an effective job. I really think there are some issues with the leadership team and it probably needs an overhaul. There was never any strategy from product outside of one small area. The rest of the business was left without any guidance or support. I really think the US/UK shared services model does not work. The UK and US just are entirely different markets and the UK at the end of the day doesn't really care about the US nor move as quickly.
