Pros

- Lots of smart, friendly people - Decent compensation - Good work/life balance - Decent office and location

Cons

- Senior Management run the company like a dictatorship: dysfunctional disconnect between members of the exec and the rest of the company - Too many self-interested managers who pay lipservice to developing staff but are simply out for themselves, will throw you under the bus in a heartbeat and couldn't care less about career roadmaps or supporting their team - Lack of meaningful, job-based training - Very political atmosphere - too much perception is based on cosying up to key members of senior management and it's down to managers to filter up good performance, which so often they don't, rather than it being a true meritocracy - Strategic direction has the turning circle of the Titanic and members of senior management can't agree amongst themselves! - Lots of departmental silos - Too many people are overworked and under-supported

Pros

Great work-life balance. In my function at least, the team is friendly and passionate. This creates a great environment to work in. Generous benefits and compensation. So far, I admire the communication efforts of what various departments are doing and prioritising. I feel like there is opportunity to succeed here. There are also opportunities to pursue your niche. I get on with my team so well. Amazing bunch. Top class equipment.

Cons

In my role, lack of robust onboarding/training structure (although this is very difficult to get right in a remote role with a diverse and self-managed workload.) Management has the right intention and attitude to help. This is more of a warning to those who don't thrive in this type of environment. You have to be motivated and take responsibility for your own onboarding.
