Pros

-Good salary, shares and benefits, especially vs other US tech companies. -Still fairly employee focused - DEI and ERGs, well-being, hybrid working, etc. -Thriving graduate programme and excellent early careers team. -Smart CEO with a clear strategy, that seems to be working well.

Cons

-Non-engineering groups have been cut right back to the bone - people are overworked and stressed out. Preventable mistakes happen quite often. -Exec level leaders are all in the US and are all relatively new to the company - there is no connection with or understanding of (UK) company culture and history. -Culture has gone downhill alarmingly fast in the last few years - there are lots of very poor people managers, with no empathy or people skills. -Complaints and whistle blowing about terrible managers are routinely ignored or covered up.
