Pros

Salary and benefits are acceptable on paper.

Cons

The workload, lack of support, and overall environment make the compensation feel not worth it. Due to globalisation, managers are often based outside the UK and don’t fully understand UK employment rules, which creates ongoing issues with policies and accessing UK specific benefits. Questioning decisions or policies is consistently a struggle. Support is limited and often replaced with micromanagement. The Bracknell office lacks facilities which makes the enforced return to office frustrating. Speaking up about concerns can result in being singled out rather than supported.

Pros

Good pay and decent benefits.

Cons

Current management is completely disconnected from the needs and concerns of individual contributors. Which appears to be on purpose, as the company is in an active strategy of both strategic layoffs and of driving attrition in general, so everyone's stress levels are super high. The head of HR just quit so I can only assume worse labor actions are on their way. Also, be ready to not have a desk but still be required to come in 4 days a week.
