Pros

I get to work with interesting topics, and occasionally on other projects depending on my skills. Nice and chatty staff and overall good atmosphere in the office. Great team manager and colleagues! Gender balance is pretty much 50/50, there is a kitchen with tables to sit, and the entrance door is broken most of the time. You get two extra days of holidays after one year, followed by one day per year until you reach the limit. The awful HR team was outsourced to France! The hot chocolate is good and you get paid overtime.

Cons

Career advancement prospects are low and no salary increase! A lot of projects are outsourced and chunks of the night and day teams were outsourced to an Indian company, which does a terrible job. If you hear that your work will be replaced by Wipro then run for your life. Only 20 days holiday in your first year + public holidays, which is only 27! Windows can't be opened, poor ventilation and the occasional rat running around. The coffee is terrible! They also take donations from staff that they give to charities, which they later brand as money coming from their own profit, the dammed scroungers.

Pros

None. Literally none. Amazing that I cannot think of a single thing. I’m staying because the job market is awful otherwise I am out of here.

Cons

- carousel of management. Changing every several months - constant reorganization, hired for a role you want then moved to a role without input as a part of a reorganization - employees of set up to fail - management is suspect in their talent and ability to build a culture worth having - trying to “scale” products without a client first mentality - profits over people - legacy remote work allows people to skate by without actually doing work - history of hiring suspect CEOs because of nepotism - people get paid obscene amounts for doing little work. And if they do work, it is so awful.
