Pros

Great people, nice offices and strong benefits package

Cons

My experience was negatively impacted by management style and leadership. There was limited recognition for the team, a consistently heavy workload and little flexibility during unforeseen personal circumstances. The overall environment felt unsupportive, which made the role difficult to sustain long-term.

Pros

Broad range of roles and opportunities to work with different teams Pay is good with long term incentive schemes and annual bonuses Great work/life balance encouraged (although mandated 3-days per week in office)

Cons

For a global company, employee travel is limited and facetime with managers in other markets is limited; Annual headcount adjustments mean regular significant redundancies; Not at the cutting edge of technology development
