Vantaggi

The barristas are good if you're in the main office. The hybrid days are pretty good, with 10 days per month WFH.

Svantaggi

Well the layoffs (3rd February 2023) were pretty bad. Didn't affect me directly but plenty of friends/colleagues were. They were all asked to resign and given a small payoff and NDA. There are *far* too many managers. The company has grown massively in the last 5 years but it has disproportionately been middle management, many of whom are pretty awful and totally disconnected from the people they see as interchangeable cogs who they treat like idiots. Re: Diversity. It's pretty exclusively white men. They do sponsor some women in tech events but that hasn't changed the hiring mix. Tech. It's all Windows except some of the very new stuff which has just started moving to Linux/k8s, but everything desktop/laptop is 100% locked down Windows. I guess you decide if that's a con.

Vantaggi

Competitive compensation. Some skilled colleagues who try their best under challenging conditions. Good coffee free lunch

Svantaggi

No confidence in the CEO or Executive leadership. They avoid accountability and fail to address long-standing internal dysfunction. Lack of qualifications and skills for some executives and staff. Favourites gets rewards and promotions regardless of poor leadership skills or qualifications. Executive politics rampant. Blame routinely shifted, priorities change abruptly and high turnover among talented staff. Poor communication from senior leaders; goals unclear, frequent sudden changes, team structures confusing, staff expected to resolve cross-department issues without authority. Workplace culture marred by micromanagement, different opinions, changes, lack of up to date tech and scapegoating which leads to a poor environment. Innovation and strategic feedback discouraged. Genuine professional development unsupported. Most success comes from self-protection and playing office politics with the right people rather than any real support or clarity from management.
