Pros

Good friendly and hard working bunch of workers below management level.

Cons

Worst place ive ever work for. The company is rife with politics and Nepotism. The SLT have no clue how to run the business. No process. No documentation. No accountability. HR hand in glove with SLT. So no use in complaining to HR. Seriously mismanaged.

Pros

Immediate manager, colleagues, in region development teams and senior manager are *extremely* good people, dealing with hard targets. You will form fantastic relationships in the trenches. Autonomy to do what you want to do and build features that feel important to you or customers... Assuming you have the resources to do it (You won't) Ability to work from home, unlimited leave (with manager discretion, so YMMV), work life balance is decent, but only if you control it. Decent, but below average, salary

Cons

Zero bonus strategy unless you're in sales or management, meaning that even senior individual contributors sees basically zero benefit to their hard work and extra hours, whilst sales swan off with massive five and six bonuses. Pathetic yearly salary rises that don't even touch inflation, promotion pay rises are similarly low Crushing yearly layoffs that are DESTROYING development teams, staff loyalty and staff morale. Planned and unplanned deliverables are getting harder and harder to achieve. Many development teams now lack any form of QA and its falling on developers and product to pick up the slack, strong hint, AI cannot replace years of knowledge, smarts and creativity, as much as the c-suite wishes it were the case. A completely disconnected, millionaire C-suite that parade sales figures and corporate bs on All Hands meetings and then lay down ridiculous mandates from seemingly nowhere, without thought or consultation Company culture has effectively fallen by the wayside, very few events ever happen, and when they do they're extremely cost controlled unless customers are invited.

Next to No Understanding of How Employment Works in UK

Pros

Provides good IT equipment and branded items.

Cons

As a HR company with employees in the UK, it has no understanding of how employment works in the UK. What they do to employees is immoral and despicable, like pulling a job offer two days before starting. Zero trust with this company and communication is shocking.
