Pros
- Good employee benefits such as travel discount - Modern office space with the option to have things like a standing desk - They try to promote a good company culture - Some flexible working and WFH available
Cons
- I noticed that most people were overworked and stressed across all departments, not just the dev team. There was a high staff turnover because of this so my team changed project managers 3 times in 1 year. - The way they reward employees for going "above and beyond" is unfair - it's purely based on number of Kudos received in the HR system over a period of time. I won one of these awards not long after I joined the company when my teammates, who had worked there a lot longer and far harder than I had, were the ones who deserved it, not me. - My performance reviews were done by a senior developer who was so busy he never had time to check in with me and see what I was doing, so I didn't find it helpful. Occasionally I had a review with my project manager who didn't care about my career progression and when I asked for extra training I was refused it or my request was ignored.
