Pros

Good salary Work from home and remote working policy is good

Cons

- The most fake and toxic culture I have ever seen. Everyone acts nice but colleagues are climbing over each other to prove they are better than others due to fear of losing their jobs. Lots of back stabbing and gossip. - There's a strong micromanagement culture. Management lacks trust and every decision is controlled by many managers. So much time is spent on reporting to management. - Very inexperienced managers who only look out for themselves. They don't listen to feedback and just tell you what to do. - A high number of employees are being managed out or made redundant. If you make a mistake or voice your opinion you're likely to be put on a performance plan to push you out. - Management prefer waterfall approach and you need to define all requirements up front or you will be punished. - Very slow delivery. It takes forever to build basic features due to so many teams being involved and people don't know how to work together. - The product organization is very immature/inexperienced. You won't learn anything here if you're a junior product manager (just bad habits), and if you're experienced, you'll be frustrated by how poor things are. - Most people want to leave and the recent employee feedback is terrible but management don't care.
