Pros

Good benefits and alright pay, good development opportunities

Cons

There's a somewhat sinister "everything is awesome" culture that is difficult to challenge. Lots of square pegs, round holes. Management don't like to listen to complaints but are happy to reassure you everything is okay and things are constantly getting better

Dumpster fire.

Pros

Nothing that can outweigh the flagrant hypocrisy coming from the top.

Cons

Lying about what employees have fed back about remote work/flex. Presenteeism. Cutting headcount but increasing workloads on strained teams. Linking bonus potential to office attendance which is tracked by key cards. Utter disregard for your mental health, pointing to silly apps and ineffective “employee assistance programs” - all just check boxes to appear like they care. There are more trustworthy companies out there that will actually treat you like an adult and not like a child that needs minding. The CEO being in cahoots with number 10 doesn’t help matters as the prerogative there is to push people back to the office to line the pockets of the already wealthy.

Not caring for employees

Pros

Great direct management at ground level.

Cons

Executive leadership team is completely disconnected from employees on the ground. Closing local offices and forcing employees to go back to the office hubs and commute for 2-5 hours a day. Work life balance gone, productivity gone, morale gone!
