Pros

Some of the people there are really friendly and make you fell welcome Great location of their London office Good staff canteen

Cons

I have worked in the department where most of people have been there for years (the other new guy has only been there for 4 years!!) and are like acting like a sort of Mob family. Any criticism of how the system is not working and could be improved is looked at with extreme hostility. Besides that you get bombarded with propaganda emails and you have the feeling that you are in a copy of 1984 (Big Brother –Joe is on every wall, he is spoken about in hushed tones like some sort of modern day Stalin, everybody is forced to wear the Willis badge at all times)! I have been hired to have a look on how to improve a certain process in the IT. When I have finished my analysis They were not happy about it and a couple of months later I was told that my role is no longer needed!

Pros

Paycheck is great, people to work with are generally very intelligent, positive and professional. Many positions are work from home or at least hybrid. Continuous learning is encouraged. Since the company is technically British, it is very inclusive and has several networks to ensure inclusion (although some such as the menopause support group are UK based which isn't surprising as the US doesn't typically care about such things though they should).

Cons

The workload is often insane to put it mildly. You are expected to sort of "do everything". When you are encouraged to speak up if you have too much work, they pretty much tell you "well you just have to figure out how to get it done because we have to give you more work". There is blatant favoritism. Those who are liked are praised for giving detailed answers on calls and granted a month off of PTO while those not as well liked get grilled when they ask for one day off and are told "not to overthink" when they try to provide detailed answers.
