Pros

False impression of working for industry "leader" and building "innovative" solutions.

Cons

Slaves to their investors who couldn't care less about technology or people. Instead of investing in technology, people and improving their products they prefer to use capital money to buy-out smaller competitors, get rid of "redundant" engineers, push new responsibilities onto existing teams and simply shuffle clients between products if something fails. Predatory financial vessel that pretends to be a tech company.

Pros

When I first started the company was very big on growth opportunities and training, but as time went on more and more pressure was added without additional support. They did at the time offer private insurance and extra holiday in the summer, but I am not sure if that's the case now.

Cons

Company culture was unfortunately very alcoholic, and office politics could make otherwise simple tasks a nightmare. A lack of formal structure for things like office management and disability adaptations meant it really depended on which team you were on and how busy your boss was.

Pros

- Transparent about goals, organizational structure, and financial targets, with leadership openly sharing these details. - Free, online psychologist.

Cons

The company’s ambitious vision and goals are detached from the employees’ daily realities, as they are primarily leadership’s agenda rather than a shared direction. Operational support for staff and clients is often lacking, and despite a relatively small team, leadership seems surprisingly out of touch with individual roles and contributions. Employee transitions are handled with a lack of empathy. Releases due to restructuring are cold and procedural, disregarding personal circumstances. As a parent with a mortgage, receiving a day's notice made it especially difficult to plan ahead.
