Good place to work for specific technologies
Pros
- The benefits package has been difficult to compete with. - The people you work with are often a good laugh. Really lovely people. Supportive. - For all of their drawbacks and poorly made structural decisions, somewhere in there, they are earnestly trying to do better with what means exist to them. There's still some hope for this company that they can care properly for their employees. - The big boss of the region WILL learn your name. That can be both endearing or a threat depending on who you are. - Remote working through the roof. - Technology mobility exists.
Cons
- UK region in times gone has often been the region that kept the company afloat but the promise of bonus' have been taking a hit due to the lack of profit brought in from other regions, thus sometimes you might not get rewarded for your success. - In my experience (which should be noted is not the common experience), there was a lack of opportunity to utilize the skills I developed. As a result, my motivation continually kept diminishing and partly it was my own fault, but the other part was that I also felt no real incentive to grow and find opportunities if rewards were based globally, rather than locally. - Progression metrics for annual performance reviews are near impossible to show progression to the new level.
