Pros

Good culture if you’re an extrovert

Cons

Management has a hard time deciding who’s in charge of what. Very frequent reorgs, makes the structure seem unstable.

Pros

Benefits. Extensive and generous. Feel well supported as an employee with lots of external to work benefits that cover everything from high quality health insurance to decent family cover for trips. I was still finding out about benefits in year 2 that i was unaware of.

Cons

Where to start. Pitched as a people first company, the new (now ex) CEO did what he could to undermine that at every opportunity. Extensive layoffs whilst I was there and woeful ambience and morale. Ridiculous one size fits all approach to return to the office meant some great people left. Didnt apply however to some favourites though (funny that). Business is so large everything moves at the speed of a turning tanker. Projects take months on end, everyone has to have their say and input before eventually what you wanted to deliver becomes obsolete and irrelevant. Zero agility. The part of the business I worked in had a huge culture issue with one office in particular "patting themselves on the backs". So many undeserved promotions and dissidence to others outside of that setup. Almost became an on running joke of who would get promotion next. poorly lead from the day i arrived and naturally is failing now as a result. years behind in terms of AI capability. Some great people in between all this, i hope they see the light in time.
