Vantaggi

Good facilities for bicycles

Svantaggi

In the almost-decade that I worked at Sophos, I saw a well-run, interesting, intelligent department become stupider, slower, and more generic. Wave after wave of redundancies will do that. So will promoting non-technical managers from outside the company, who haven't a clue about the ethos, software or the people supporting it. Managers who squeeze you until the pips squeak, if it makes their KPI statistics look good. Which it will, because the fix is in! Standardisation. Favouritism. Training given at the last-minute or (usually) not at all. Endless measurement and monitoring. What... pay not keeping pace with inflation? Not motivated? Try a new mission statement - it'll take your mind off the dog-eats-dog environment, lack of prospects, and soulless, abstract view of what you do as generating KPIs rather than any sense of achievement or quality. Sophos will destroy your sanity and your soul.
