      Pros

      Hybrid flexibility if your role allows.

      Cons

      Low pay. No appreciation for work done by lower level staff. Large class divide among staff, R&D and Sales live a carefree and accountability free and offload work onto others. Incredibly toxic imported US work culture from being owned by a US company.

      Pros

      Brooks operates in a genuinely interesting sector with strong technical capabilities and some highly capable people. There are teams doing good work, and the company has real potential with the right CEO.

      Cons

      However, the overall experience is shaped by ongoing layoffs and a consistently volatile environment. Frequent restructuring and shifting priorities make it difficult to build momentum or see initiatives through to completion. There is a constant sense of change without enough stability to support it. This creates uncertainty for employees and impacts morale, engagement, and long-term focus. It is challenging to operate effectively when the direction can shift quickly, and role security feels unclear. In summary, an interesting company in an important industry, but one where greater stability and clearer direction would significantly improve the employee experience.
