Pros

There are some knowledgeable and dedicated employees The company's mission is meaningful, but not unique IT support is great There is some diversity at a high level, following another recent restructure, there are a number of females in relatively senior positions.

Cons

Low pay, which is compounded by a refusal to give adequate - or any - raises, or pay a bonus Frequent layoffs We're constantly told that 4G is a family, but I don't know whether what they mean by "family" is "clique" Unlimited PTO is actually very limited There aren't enough people to do all the work (perhaps because of the frequent layoffs...?) Tenure within the company is valued over all else, so if you bring experience with you from outside, prepare for it not to be respected or understood Senior management is completely out of touch with what's going on further down the chain - in a recent meeting, the CEO announced that some staff had been laid off, but after that call he was going to go to a bar with some people from the office he was in that day to celebrate how well the company was doing

Pros

Friendly and helpful colleagues. Remote/flexible working. Good work-life balance. Some people set a very bad example, but you don't have to follow it. This might be team dependent.

Cons

No annual salary reviews or performance bonuses. Very bad scaling problems. Senior management would rather waste cash on vanity projects than your remuneration or ensuring financial health of the company. DevOps is 95% just Ops - there are no proficient developers in what is already quite a large team. Unreasonable amount of failures on-call. Instead of fixing the root cause, more people are thrown at the problem to deal with the fallout manually. Severe lack of communication within DevOps team(s). There are few opportunities for junior members to learn from senior members. Automation team is an oxymoron as it's mostly dealing with issues manually. This is where all the juniors are shoved and are only superficially exposed to modern DevOps tools with few opportunities to actually use them. 'Workflow restarter team' would be a more fitting name.

Pros

Some great people and a good product. Unlimited PTO is a good selling point but in reality you can't actually use it.

Cons

Demanding bosses, benefits are really poor in the UK compared to other places I have worked The salary is ok if you don't do any work at evenings/weekends.
