      A company built on “rank and yank”

      Senior project manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Competitive salaries. Benefits. Mostly great people. Generous perks.

      Cons

      Performance management system is the center of work life. The system is subjective and essentially rewards “suck ups”. Many people in leadership positions who are not qualified to lead or manage. Executives have different rules than the rest of the company. Think what banking would be like if consultants ran the show. You are also fighting others to get the last 10 to 20 percent of your salary. In general a the performance management system does not foster cooperation or innovation because everyone is trying to beat out their peers.

      Political.

      Manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Energetic, interesting initiatives from the US parent.

      Cons

      Highly political in most areas. If your face fits then you are okay. Most senior staff are busy telling themselves they are much better than they actually are.....

      Not as great as it seems

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      * Work life balance is good. Flexible 9-5 hours * Compensation is OK * Friendly people

      Cons

      * Work is very dull, not interesting and filled with horrible corporate process and red tape. As a result, you won't be able to learn much as an engineer. * Engineers in london are not given the same support as the Nottingham counterparts. * Performance management is completely unfair. You are not rewarded on you're technical ability and delivery but on how well you sell yourself to senior managers. * HR is very unhelpful, non responsive and their only interest is to protect the company. * Hiring is also very biased as well. Again people who are all talk but no substance get hired while actual talented engineers are not taken into consideration. This results in many hires having imposter syndrome.
