Pros

Did offer flexible working, although feel I was given that more by luck than design.

Cons

No one dared to cross the highly incompetent and corrupt management. Those who did were given a black mark. They have a track record of forcing people out of the organisation if they became too challenging in a very unpleasant manner. Frightened of employing anyone with real talent as this would show up just how clueless and backward senior management are. Actively seem to employ managers who have zero empathy or any human qualities. Considering they are a "wellbeing" company their own practices are particularly shameful and deserve to be exposed.

Pros

Strong work-life balance, supportive leadership, and a collaborative culture that feels more people-focused than many large corporations. Hybrid flexibility, solid benefits, and long-term stability make it a great place to build a career. There are also good opportunities for internal growth and cross-functional experience.

Cons

Decision-making can sometimes move slowly due to layers of process and approvals. Compensation may not always be as competitive as larger tech-focused companies, and organizational changes or transformation initiatives can occasionally create ambiguity or shifting priorities. Like many large enterprises, bureaucracy can at times impact speed and innovation.
