I wouldn't recommend the company for the way they treat their staff

Pros

Some good engineers Pay is OK

Cons

Managers have unrealistic expectations over AI, pushing people to work overtime. Rigid return-to-work policy, ignoring the fact some people live far away and two days in office is unfeasible. The lack of flexibility has caused discrimination to some people, they are totally aware but don't care. There have been cases people raised legal cases but most people don't want to waste time on this. The company will cold treat employees when there is conflict of interest (return to office, for example). It's kind of common for them, so if they do this to you, remember it's their fault. The company try to create a diverse and welcoming image to the public, by participating things like code first girls, which is a huge contrast to how they actually treat their staff, don't be fooled.

Pros

Very good work life balance, you don't hear about people working beyond 5PM other than on the week of new product launches and it's usually made up to those involved pretty well. Nice new office although it feels like we've outgrown it already at times. Some upper management seem very energetic

Cons

Despite the energy the company feels a bit directionless. There's a vague goal of "home of money" but that doesn't really connect with me in terms of actual direction for the company. The company is moving towards AWS with typescript but still focusing on hiring Kotlin developers, but we don't really have TS developers who could do the interviewing. There's a big push to AWS serverless but people are confused when you say you're adopting it?

Pros

Inclusive, generally good people there, an increase in pension contributions recently.

Cons

The presented values are just lip-service. Senior management in Tech are toxic. Ex Moon-Pig, who are frankly hated for their poor management style and inability to lead. Risk team has been decimated by staff leaving, over 10 in the last year. Also, they have the worst annual review process you have ever been a part of.
