Pros

Talented colleagues: Many smart, driven, and collaborative individuals across departments. Learning opportunities: Exposure to new tools, technologies, and projects—especially around Gen AI, automation and digital transformation. Flexibility: Some teams offer decent work-life balance and flexibility depending on your manager.

Cons

Lack of job stability: Ongoing layoffs and restructuring of teams have created a climate of uncertainty. Low morale: The constant organizational changes have impacted employee engagement and trust. Communication issues: Transparency from leadership around strategy, role impact, and future direction has been inconsistent. Limited career growth: With restructuring, some career development paths have become unclear or deprioritized.

Pros

Salary, some benefits, S1 Analysts and most same level colleagues are alright

Cons

I mean there aren't going to be much more hire's going forward, most of the company are at threat of redundancy (except the inflated egos of anyone above an S2). Nobody listens to complaints until it's too late, very cliquey in circles. You can achieve solid 10 scoring from your team for support and management style but then get told you have to put people on plans for pointless reasons. Management have favourites and are generally timid when it comes to confrontation and general employee wellbeing.
