      Pros

      Very few in 2025, you get snacks and free booze if that's your thing.

      Cons

      Don't know where to start, terrible salaries glossed up as generous. To quote the CEO 'I wouldn't scoff at a 2.5% pay increase' this was bang inline with inflation in Feb after periods the previous yeah where it had been 4+%. Either he doesn't understand or he doesn't think no one else understands inflation. But judging by the AI responses on here I mean you can tell. They have found a cushy niche in the market and not it maximising profit for board members. Don't work here it's that simple.

      Pros

      Great work life balance and vacation time....

      Cons

      Many internal issues and felt like this last round of layoffs was to protect inadequate leaders vs hardworking employees. I understand companies do layoffs but this just felt like Senior management trying to protect themselves because they aren't doing an effective job. I really think there are some issues with the leadership team and it probably needs an overhaul. There was never any strategy from product outside of one small area. The rest of the business was left without any guidance or support. I really think the US/UK shared services model does not work. The UK and US just are entirely different markets and the UK at the end of the day doesn't really care about the US nor move as quickly.
