Cliquey and pay could be better

Software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- Some of the people you work with are great. - You get a prestigious name on your CV.

Cons

- Cliquey. - Progression is down to whether you are one of the management favorites, not merit. - Staff feedback not acted upon (unless you're part of the clique). - Pay isn't great and the pension is the legal minimum. - Performance is done by peer review. This creates a 'you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours' situation.
