Pros

• A growing focus on quality rather than speed, even from senior leaders • A growing focus on AI, with engineers empowered to experiment and explore • An environment where things get done, yet people aren't expected to work long hours • A healthy focus on data, without requiring every decision to have mountains of evidence

Cons

• Can over-index towards high-confidence plans and timelines, rather than high quality decisions • Team changes are too regular - the value of a stable team that rotates through problems isn't understood

Pros

Great working culture, wonderful colleagues

Cons

Sporadic support in terms of ways of working and the tech stack. No bonus. Underwhelming increases.

Pros

Most of the colleagues are great

Cons

- The leadership team took bonuses only a few months before deciding to make 300+ staff redundant, most of whom will likely only get the minimum possible redundancy pay. I don't think I have to say anything else.
