Pros

Steady work for those who want to just maintain decades old code. If you are wanting to focus on non-career aspects of life this job provides steady income with little to no growth expectations. Best for mid-senior tech folks with their growth years behind them.

Cons

Off-shore is the tail wagging the dog and culture drives everything. Product managers own all tech decisions and teams are organized in hierarchical silos. Business Logic knowledge is hoarded within these. Onshore dev teams are used as overflow buffer for unplanned or undesirable work. Due to reliance on old tech and methods, great demands are placed on senior engineers. This results in a non-agile culture of missed opportunities and mediocrity which can be frustrating for anyone coming from a modern dynamic environment.

Pros

Paycheck is great, people to work with are generally very intelligent, positive and professional. Many positions are work from home or at least hybrid. Continuous learning is encouraged. Since the company is technically British, it is very inclusive and has several networks to ensure inclusion (although some such as the menopause support group are UK based which isn't surprising as the US doesn't typically care about such things though they should).

Cons

The workload is often insane to put it mildly. You are expected to sort of "do everything". When you are encouraged to speak up if you have too much work, they pretty much tell you "well you just have to figure out how to get it done because we have to give you more work". There is blatant favoritism. Those who are liked are praised for giving detailed answers on calls and granted a month off of PTO while those not as well liked get grilled when they ask for one day off and are told "not to overthink" when they try to provide detailed answers.
