      Pros

      Flexible, relatively laid-back, seemingly lacking any urgency in their business model, stable.

      Cons

      All of management are comprised of Yes men who could not make an executive decision to save their lives. Their only approach to any controversy or criticism(many that are well deserved) is to pull an AMA and then call it a day and hope it goes away. Benefits and compensation are well below market for anything above the entry-level engineering jobs. and it's the least technically savvy tech company i've ever seen.

      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.
