Pros

1. Very friendly, inclusive and sociable culture. 2. People are great. Strong D&I community groups. 2. Great benefits e.g. private health care, frequent fun team days and amazing events, frequent free catering. Pay is good vs traditional retail but average for tech industry. 3. Relatively flat structure with a lot of accountability, freedom and ownership.

Cons

1. Behind competitors on innovation - projects, ideas and product releases often feel behind the market which can be frustrating. 2. Progression is an ongoing challenge - often unclear and paths to progression seem to massively depend on who your manager is. 3. Work life balance seems good for some but very bad for others (seems to be worse at mid management and senior levels).

Pros

Good work, lots of AI experiments, AI innovation, latest tech stack, Co-workers are very co-operative and helpful. Most AI tools are still unlimited.

Cons

Some teams are over-working due to smaller teams as a result of recent layoffs. Office perks (like catered food, snacks) are dwindling every quarter even though company wants every employee to be 3 days a week in office. Company wants 80 percent code to be generated by AI but no clear guideline how to achieve that.
