Pros

Some projects are interesting but people in the management can decide if you are in those "interesting projects ".

Cons

It's weird that this company asks for 4 quarterly check-ins every years, which means you need to have one quarterly check-in every 3 months with no real progress. They did it not because they cares about your development but because they need to push you harder to utilize you to the maximum while giving you minimal increase every year. My salary is 30k lower than the market since I have been here for 4 years, and there is no reward, no compensation no matter how hard you have worked. They keep you work extremely hard and their unlimited sick days has been turned into 6 sick days per year. They also have high level security of IT to control their data, also I don't think it's a good thing. Lots of hierarchical tasks, Health&safety check-ins for no use...most of the time it doesn't have to have any benefit and they let you do those work repeatedly. Doing for them, and no reward for you. I really have no idea how their management operate this company, do they plan to get maximum money in the short term or let people all go in the long term? Their turnover rate is extremely high-every one to two years you will see a lot of new faces. People came here for hope but ended up being desperate.

Pros

Most colleagues are genuinely nice, supportive, and capable, and they’re the main reason many people stay despite everything else. Management should stop taking that goodwill for granted, it won’t last forever if trust continues to be eroded.

Cons

The company loves to claim it’s “committed to flexible working,” yet enforces a rigid three-days-a-week office mandate. This isn’t flexibility, it’s box-ticking and corporate spin. The disconnect between what’s said publicly and what’s imposed internally is glaring. Pay reviews are an absolute joke. Salary increases are a smack in the face and do nothing but highlight how little the company values its employees. After increased workloads and rising living costs, the so-called raises feel insulting rather than rewarding. Management haven’t got a clue. There is relentless chopping and changing of strategy, priorities, and structures, often with no explanation or accountability. Teams are left scrambling while leadership flip-flops from one “new direction” to the next. The culture at the top is dominated by toxic positivity. Monthly briefings are filled with forced enthusiasm and hollow buzzwords, while the reality is conveniently glossed over. What makes it worse is that a completely different, more honest message is shared behind closed doors with leaders, proving that transparency only exists when it suits management. Overall, this is an organisation where reality is ignored, employee trust is eroded, and grand statements mean very little. If you’re considering working here, be prepared for hypocrisy, poor leadership, and a widening gap between words and actions.
