Pros
Flexible working policies. Depending on the team, opportunity to have an impact on UK and US markets. Friendly and approachable teams and work colleagues.
Cons
Lack of diversity and poor representation of minorities at the management level. Leaders do not inspire inspire nor do they wish to change the status quo. Problem has compounded over time as some of the long standing inspirational leaders have left. Low levels of motivation across the tech functions because of a lack of culture of innovation and a desire to push the envelope. Nepotism and favouritism thrive across ranks. The people function here is probably the least competent of all. Focus on frivolous matters. Little attention is paid towards hiring and actually getting talent through the door. Hiring managers struggle to fill roles for months while the people team pat themselves on the back after yet another engagement survey that serves to achieve nothing other than keeping them employed. Frequent reorgs do nothing other than to drive up attrition levels and drive down motivation levels. A culture of gossip and politics has started to creep in. Significant UK/US divide.
