Pros

The people not in management

Cons

This is just the worst place I’ve ever worked. Unrealistic expectations, huge egos, micromanagement, narcissistic leaders especially based in London. Please do not work here for your own sanity. Leaders (one or two in particular) need to take a long hard look at themselves and realise that bullying doesn’t have a place anymore and never should have. Please treat people with respect and get over your own egos and realise that it’s not ok to treat people as you are. So many good people have left because of the poor treatment. Please change your ways. It’s not right what’s happening.

Pros

Smart, talented, and supportive colleagues. Interesting products and the opportunity to work on technology that impacts many customers. Good work-life balance in most teams. Collaborative culture with opportunities to learn from experienced peers. Strong brand recognition and valuable experience for your resume

Cons

Cons Recognition is lacking, especially for individual contributors. Strong performance and consistent delivery do not necessarily translate into career advancement, promotions, or meaningful salary increases. Growth opportunities appear limited for ICs, while management roles seem to receive a greater share of advancement and compensation opportunities. After several years, many individual contributors may find themselves reaching a career plateau with few clear paths for progression. If career growth, promotion opportunities, and compensation advancement are important priorities, it may be worth evaluating other opportunities once you’ve gained experience here
