Pros

Good technology stack to work on. Good learning environment and advanced technologies to work on Flexibility for employees in terms on work timings, team changes and etc Provides support to enhance knowledge within the company

Cons

Complete lack of transparency on decision making. They are just imposed on the team/individuals in the name of changing landscape (or the pace of changes) of the company. Full of politics. Too many obstacles created and supported by the leaders that impact team health and productivity. At times I felt decisions were taken just to please individuals inside/outside of the team. Unfair and too much stressful environment leading to work-life balance problems. Leaders have no clue about the direction and goals for the team/department. Basically nobody cares. Big trust issues between the employees and leaders Micromanagement leading to destruction of innovation and flexibility within the teams.

Pros

Pros include ok salary, new offices and flexible work hours

Cons

Values process over output. Values directives over performance. Love a yes man. Its all about if you are seen in a favorable light. Challenging status quo will get you demoted & ignored. Forget everything you know - its only about what your superior knows and how enthusiastically you agree with them. The culture is discouraging to say the least.

Pros

My Delivery Lead is really flexible, and most are. Wide variety of technologies but that depends a lot on the actual team. Able to do some working from home. Voluntary days. Some help with relocation. The tech assistants are outstanding, the townhouse helps a lot.

Cons

Management is quite clueless how to homogenize the culture and drive better results. Huge gender and ethnic salary-gap. The People organization is extremely cold when dealing issues with you such as which health/dental insurance to have or if you need a cash advance.
