Pros

Good overall culture, pleasant people

Cons

Company makes a lot of noise about preventing precarious work, dignity at work, modern slavery, but could do a lot better in applying these ideas to its own staff. For a company that is 80% women and pays a lot of lip service to diversity / inclusion, it is brutal with women who may have reproductive issues, menopause challenges, etc. High-pressure, my-way-or-the-highway approach, zero respect or sympathy for staff who suffer from stress. Team structures change, seemingly randomly, every year or so. Very top-down management approach, annual staff survey is a farce, those expressing concerns told to shut up or leave. Oh, and work systems are chaotic and difficult to navigate -- no-one understands or cares about where information is kept and how it is accessed. All this for distinctly average pay.

Pros

Good people and good benefits.

Cons

Hard to get ahead if you're not female. Management are too controlling. Too difficult to get work done due to decision making by concensus.
