Honestly a terrible place to work.

Pros

- Really smart people - Very cool work and clients

Cons

- The internal teams and management have no idea what they're doing. - Care for people is next to none - a large number of people report feeling like they are being gaslit by their managers when they ask questions etc, get told they're weak when they say they're not sure how to proceed/show stress. - They use being a start up as an excuse for being poor in a bunch of important areas. - Gender diversity is poor and unsupported. - Absolutely zero training, career support or mentorship to anyone who joined the company mid-career. - Have scaled to a size they are not set up to handle and internal processes cannot support. - Prioritise sales over people, and have become a consultancy where they sell projects they can't staff. - So much other ridiculous stuff - offices aren't big enough for the company, can't get a desk or meeting room unless it's like four weeks in advance, no defined ways of working, worst project management techniques I've ever seen, minimal policies to support bids/work. - Every day I'm disappointed by another aspect of Faculty that has let me down.

A recipe for burnout

Pros

Flexible when it comes to wfh, the office is nice, some of the work is cool

Cons

Senior management is incredibly impulsive, the company has different priorities every fortnight with no support or training for that pivot. The easiest way to get burnt out is to have a ton of responsibility on outcomes but absolutely no decision making power which is what most people at Faculty are facing. Because of the rapid pivoting, we have pools of wasted talent. Engineers making slides. Data scientists becoming make-shift consultants. Progression is a favourites game and frankly, a joke.

Pros

Decent salary if you join at the right level - if you do want to try working here, ask for more than you expect don't let them talk you down as the current progression setup is not great causing a fair amout of turnover internally. If you don't care about work, have a good personal life and can easily separate the two then this is the company for you. Above average annual leave allowance is nice, depending on which projects you get put on. Great business outlook is pretty good at the moment, with lots of new work across multiple sectors and constant hiring.

Cons

Some roles are very isolated from the rest of the company, to the point where I most often feel like an independent contractor and don't really fit in socially. Can't think of any good benefits other than the annual leave; pension contrbibution matching is below average and they try to tempt new employees into opting out, bonuses aren't a thing other than for specific roles, and if you opt in to the healthcare then you still have to pay ~£90 month pre-tax deduction. If you didn't guess from the interview process, the machine learning engineer role is more a python dev role covering data engineering and cloud infra with really not much at all to do with machine learning. Maybe a pro or con depending on how you look at it, but to me feels dishonest to clients.
