Pros

Some really bright, hardworking people in IT on all levels, including leadership, delivering highly complex solutions to the business against all odds - extreme workload, low resources( staff), extremely high expectations. Has been a privilege to work with most of them. The benefits are meh, borderline standard package.

Cons

We all know that that we're just numbers for a company when it comes to employment. But experiencing the treatment I've experienced in the last 6 weeks, I must say that all pro's and the positive perception that I might have had have been overshadowed, all out the window. In this day and age, employees value inclusion, flexibility and recognition most and foremost. HR here are still in the mindset of the 70's, and that has led me to have a highly negative perception and experience, one that made me from a passive, borderline promoter, into a massive detractor. If anyone from SE HR or leadership will read this, they could research into NPS, and how it applies to employees.. By what I've observed, my coworkers are in an overwhelming number in the passive and detractor pools, with very few promoters. I would be quite concerned if I were them.

Pros

Remote working, nice offices, big name

Cons

Im not sure about the Japanese side of the buisness but ive always wanted to work for this company and was a dream come true when i got a job here. However 18 months in and it ended up being a nightmare and id never want to work there ever again. I worked in the london offices and there is too much politics and drama. No career progression and stale salary. I also felt trapped and discluded and without a voice. Unfortunately, Im glad im no longer part of this company.
