Remote work is the only remaining perk now

Pros

Remote is the only perk of working for this company now

Cons

The company had went gradually downhill since 2024 with an almighty slump since Thoma Bravo acquired the company and within days, 5% cut to the workforce was announced. This is to be expected as they have 5-10% workforce cuts across the board around February/March annually. Condensed working week and flexible working options pulled. Office closed so no in-person collaboration available now, Social events, team building lunches, etc. all cut right down for 2 years now, bonuses and annual pay rises postponed. Bonus/Incentive scheme is revisited every quarter or so and now made to be deliberately ambiguous and unachievable. The Support model which took years to perfect scrapped overnight. All the teams in special/regional skillsets all put into larger multi-regional teams. No opportunities for progression in Tech in EMEA. All opportunities outsourced to Mauritius and North America. So many redundancies in Product, Development and QA in EMEA that the application is full of defects now. What was once a great company to work for, and who looked after and engaged their employees, is now a soulless shell of itself. C Suite are obsessed with implementing AI into everything like it's a magic wand and with any way they can make cuts. They will have bi-annual employee satisfaction surveys to get positive feedback then pull some form of perk/incentive afterwards. Company no longer not offer exit interviews or surveys upon termination so no longer seem to be interested in why they are losing long serving talented and committed employees.

Pros

- Unlimited Paid Time Off (PTO), offering flexibility for work-life balance. - Flexible working hours that allow employees to manage their schedules effectively. - Immediate management is supportive, approachable, and willing to listen to employee concerns, although engagement from upper management can feel less connected.

Cons

- Frequent yearly redundancies have created uncertainty and negatively impacted morale across teams. - The entire QA/Testing was made redundant under the justification of AI adoption, significantly reducing dedicated testing resources. - Another cost cutting measure, was shutting down the Glasgow head office. - Developers are increasingly expected to take on QA and testing responsibilities in addition to their core workload. - Private medical insurance benefits have been reduced to a £1,000 annual outpatient allowance with a £200 excess, leaving limited practical coverage despite being a taxable benefit. - Bonus structures have become unclear and inconsistent over time. Cash bonuses previously included through PAYE were removed in favor of a small salary increase, followed by a stock-based loyalty/performance scheme. Since the takeover by Thoma Bravo, there has been little communication or clarity regarding future loyalty or bonus programs. - Company-wide meetups and team activities have been scaled back. Previously, teams gathered annually, but these events have been removed as part of cost-cutting measures. - Limited investment is made in professional development and certifications. - Pay rises are no where near the cost of living and inflation in the UK.
