Pros

Excellent benefits package, fantastic work/life balance, lots of extra-curricular activities, friendly people, outstanding IS provision

Cons

The company feels like it's losing its way. For a long time now the revenue stream has relied heavily on a couple of products that are being squeezed out of relevance mainly by the changes Microsoft is making. This had led to lots of looking around for a unicorn product that can generate new sales, which has so far been unsuccessful. The result of this has been the company 'pivoting' several times in the last few years. The company has a relatively flat structure, but of course there are favoured people. The company also places a lot of emphasis on 'culture fit', which I think is now to their detriment. Sometimes you need people to disagree with you and not drink the kool-aid. Finally, I'd echo some of the other comments here that there is very limited scope for progression, and that the technologies being used are pretty standard stuff. This is not the youthful start-up it would like to be, but rather a mature company with mature products that need maintaining and extending.

Pros

A company that treats each other reasonably and works hard to grow as a team. We value working in teams We try to be respectful, both in our collaboration and what we ask of each other Great work/life balance

Cons

Mostly a UK company, so those of us in the US are a bit removed Leadership is good, but we've had some turnover and they have work to do to grow together As we have grown over 500 people we have challenges of keeping a strong culture going. It's still there, but a little diluted in newer hires

Thank you for taking the the time to share your thoughts and we are pleased to hear your positive comments about our culture and benefits. Our technology can take a bit of time to get familiar with and our teams work hard to build training and resources to support that through onboarding, training, and help from colleagues along the way. We appreciate you sharing your experience.
