Strange and weird company

Business Outlook

Pros

Free coffee and soft drinks. Some of the technology used is the latest. Desks that go up and down.

Cons

Security overload without a consistent policy across the company, this leaves some teams scrutinised to an extreme degree and other teams left to create direct connections to the internet. This is both weird and slack. Far too many middle management creating pointless meetings and adding no value. Never worked for a company before with managers who only have two direct reports. This seems to be considered normal at G-Research. Having bizarre targets, the current target is that G-Research is number 1 in the world at doing something, but nobody in the company knows what that something is, just that it is to be number 1.

Better before the layoffs started

Business Outlook

Pros

The barristas are good if you're in the main office. The hybrid days are pretty good, with 10 days per month WFH.

Cons

Well the layoffs (3rd February 2023) were pretty bad. Didn't affect me directly but plenty of friends/colleagues were. They were all asked to resign and given a small payoff and NDA. There are *far* too many managers. The company has grown massively in the last 5 years but it has disproportionately been middle management, many of whom are pretty awful and totally disconnected from the people they see as interchangeable cogs who they treat like idiots. Re: Diversity. It's pretty exclusively white men. They do sponsor some women in tech events but that hasn't changed the hiring mix. Tech. It's all Windows except some of the very new stuff which has just started moving to Linux/k8s, but everything desktop/laptop is 100% locked down Windows. I guess you decide if that's a con.
