Pros

Free parking, some of the coworkers are nice.

Cons

You’re graded on your work and have to be a top performer to survive. And because you’re a top performer you’ll get yelled at for the things that the bad employees do. Your performance is judge a lot on KPIs despite what management tells you. Because they’re not a sales department they don’t follow traditional KPIs. There’s no floor/target/gain, just be a top performer or you’re in trouble. The department that grades your work is way too picky and will mark you off for something even if you didn’t do it or it wasn’t your fault. They can’t be wrong, even when it’s blatant that they are. There’s no sense of a work/life balance. You’ll get yelled at for talking to your neighbor for 2 minutes at the end of the day. One time I hit traffic on the way in and was 15 minutes late and was asked if I was planning on using PTO for the time I missed. Once urgent work is done management will move up future work and add more stress while eliminating all sense of accomplishment. People around you will constantly be on their phones or doing nothing despite an overwhelming amount of work. Be prepared to be perfect all the time and go 110 miles per hour if you’re expecting to move up. Management will mislabel activities and if you don’t catch it you’ll get marked off.

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.
