Pros

All the people I have worked with and interacted with internally have genuinely been great. My manager is excellent and tries their hardest to navigate AVEVA bureaucracy. Pay is decent. Working hours flexibility is decent.

Cons

Executive culture has definitely shifted. Anyone that wanted to make the life of employees better has left. Cutting down on WFH benefits with various shallow excuses. Shifting to 3 mandatory in-office days from 1 despite backlash from employees. Dead-set on double digit growth even if it means cutting benefits to employees. Communication is good, but not transparent. A lot of excuses are thrown around for various choices with no concrete data to back it up, and any feedback from employees is promptly ignored. Smaller offices are in various states of disrepair (despite how nice their fancy London office appears). Preferential treatment appears to be given to sales. Benefits have slowly disappeared with no acknowledgement from upper management. One of the core values is sustainability yet offer no incentive for employees to be sustainable. Majority of customers operate in oil and gas sector, and prefer employees to commute to the office rather than work from home. And finally, most disappointing point of all: Most operations are done using Excel, even if Excel is the absolute worst tool to use for that specific use case. Every employee is reduced down to a series of Excel worksheets.

Pros

Most people are pleasant to work with.

Cons

Management claimed to have introduced a new performance scheme and denied there is a limit on how many people are allowed to be awarded "exceeds expectations" and so receive a larger bonus but last year they secretly implemented a 20% limit. THIS YEAR they have said NO-ONE is allowed to be given a high rating. I have told all of my team this against the instructions of our executive management team. I will not take part in such deception.

Pros

The people who do the work are on the whole smart, friendly, fun and very committed. Some fascinating projects.

Cons

Management seem to live on a different planet (not that unusual I admit!), are completely isolated from the rest of the business, and do not seem to get on very well with each other, or wish to communicate or even associate with the rest of us. Sadly management bickering filters down and feuds and fighting pepper the business at many levels. The company has grown through acquisition and is effectively still several different businesses which communicate and work together poorly. There is no meaningful review process and merit is on the whole not rewarded. Some of the basics required to run a business are just not there, or are implemented badly and not joined up. Great un-managed pressure is often placed on key staff, without support. Very reactive and frequent changes in direction. A "sink or swim" attitude is common - with very little technical or process support provided for new colleagues who are expected to just pick very complex things up. This is however slowly improving. A small company ethos - which just does not scale up.
