Good comp but suffering from shrinkage

Software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good compensation compared to average software engineering jobs in London. Comfortable work-life balance. Some interesting projects going on.

Cons

The company aimed to grow in size till a few years ago but now it looks like it is aiming to shrink down to some extent, and thus, we now have occasional layoffs. It also has too many middle managers and this sometimes drives them towards useless office politics.

Business Outlook

Pros

* Pension matching * Just Eat lunch vouchers and free coffee * Pretty much unlimited tech budget that is refreshed regularly. * Private healthcare and benefits budget * Flexible work from home * Colleagues are intelligent, nice and helpful people * London office is in a central location

Cons

* 2 consecutive years of significant lay offs in January for UK staff only. Some of those laid off had been at the company over 10 years. * No career progression for roles in the UK they are being backfilled in the USA. * The skill gap between leaving infrastructure engineers and those replacing them is vast. * As other reviews have said, lot's of middle management not really achieving anything. * Social budget has been slashed from pre covid * Suspicious number of vague 4/5 reviews popping up on here since January.
