      Pros

      - Good, smart people to work with - Company is moving in a slightly more positive direction with the removal of CEO - Good starting salary

      Cons

      - No career progression anymore, used to be a meritocracy but the promotion process was changed last year so that you can no longer get promoted without leaving your team - Salaries do not keep up with market rates - Very poor morale and talent retention

      Pros

      Can’t think of 1. Not even 1.

      Cons

      Pay is the lowest compared to similar company with the same role. Upper management speaks to staff with a patronizing tone; cutting them off, and talking down to them. At times it felt like they purposefully were attempting to find things wrong instead of working together as a team to meet objectives. Understaffed. Fully expected to do the work of a team of 6 despite being a team of 2 for example.
