Pros

can work remotely most of the week pay is decent health insurance is good

Cons

There's low to no job security. Layoffs do happen just when you think you're in a good spot. There barely any balance in workload. Management plays favourites, and assign a lot of work to certain people while others barely do anything.

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.
