Pros

The salary is great, and the laptops and mobiles you'll work from are top notch

Cons

Company does not trust employees and so attempts to measure performance based on things like lines of code. Forces developers to do code tests and takes them away from projects if they don't get a particular grade. No sick pay in first 6 months. Dubious attitude on making people come into the office during Coronavirus. Many of the good people are so disenchanted with the organisation that they have disengaged for their own sanity, but are not able to leave because the financial remuneration is so good. The atmosphere is generally one of frustration. It was a horrible place to work.

Pros

Working from home flexibility. Nice offices.

Cons

Chaotic leadership environment. There is a glaring lack of respect for technical expertise; if you are a doer who delivers, then expect to be stalled. Career progression is reserved exclusively for those skilled in corporate theatre and blame shifting. The internal atmosphere is governed by fear. Critical thinking is treated as insubordination. This means that real project risks and problems are hidden until they explode, at which point the inevitable delays are blamed on the technical staff rather than the systemic lack of communication. HR feels more aligned with management interests than employee support. Rather than mediating or supporting staff, they act as a filter to identify anyone who raises legitimate concerns. Providing honest feedback is a career ending move. Senior execs operate with a patronising attitude, openly dismissing client requirements under the toxic assumption that the customer doesn't know what they want. Morale is decimated, driven by a leadership team that is either fundamentally incapable of empathy or intentionally indifferent to the workforce they are burning through.
