Pros

- Good office location (if needed?). - The peer group at the execution level is talented and supportive. - Better-than-average benefits scheme.

Cons

— Dismissive Leadership Style: Leadership responded to fairness concerns by quoting a controversial political figure, displaying an "Iron Lady" resolve that feels a bit rusty in a modern workplace. This "no, no, no!" attitude confirms an unwillingness to compromise, proving they are indeed "not for turning". — Disconnected Leadership: While leadership describes the company's growth as something others would "look upon with envy", this "success" was not at all reflected in end-of-year compensation, which stands to be at the all-time low. — False Sense of Agency: Mechanisms for feedback appear performative. Although town halls are held, there is a failure to listen to serious concerns regarding the 4-day mandate. — Ultimatums: Management explicitly stated that if employees do not like the new policies, the company is "not for you". — All-Time Low Morale: A dismissive approach and unrealistic deadlines eroded any remaining loyalty and created an extremely negative outlook for the entire company.
