Pros

Flexible working Car parking is free

Cons

Wow, where to start. Perhaps the grand re org, simply a cut in staff numbers, unfortunately completely messed up by the company. Seven months and people still have no clarity. Next? The insane amount of stress piled onto the engineering teams, gifted with decades of underinvestment and under resourced yet expected to perform miracles. We all like a challenge but this is too much when coupled with unrealistic expectations. Benefits? Forget it there aren’t any worth mentioning anymore, all eroded. Promotions? Yes but based on who you know not what you now. Appraisals? Slog your guts out doing all manner of voluntary roles and get nothing. Avoid avoid avoid!

Pros

Flexible schedule, some interesting work

Cons

Laziness is normalized, it’s an old boys club. Bullying is normalized, it feels like stepping back in time. The company hide behind the secret nature of some of the work to avoid scrutiny, and as a result produce terrible work that is propped up by the fearful boys club. Some parts of site are made so ‘safe’ that work can’t happen, and other parts are left dangerous but secret.
