Pros

- Fantastic for the CV - Good compensation package - Global opportunities if you are willing to move your family - Easy to move between roles

Cons

- Difficult to advance to Director level, regardless of performance - Far too hierarchical and difficult to get exposure to executives - Culture becoming more and more cut-throat with people succeeding off the work of others - Decisions are taken too slow and too many hoops to jump through - Executive management not always pulling in the same direction

Pros

Salary is paid on time and reliably. Family-friendly policy with extended paternity leave for new fathers.

Cons

Middle management is a blocker rather than an enabler: poor team formation, unclear ownership, and limited coaching. Upward communication is stifled—issues from the ground rarely reach senior leadership, while directives flow top-down without context. Lack of basic processes and standards leads to rework and confusion. No transparent career paths or leveling, so engineers can’t see where they’ll be after 2–3 years.

Pros

Hybrid/Flexible working hours from home

Cons

Salaries lower on average compared to market. Politics trump over competence. Middle mgmt eager to say only yes to upper mgmt without challenging or addressing concerns. Mgmt favours unstable or poorly planned project delivery than quality outcome.
