Pros

Great looking office, great pay, exciting stuff to work on (if in the right team), some great colleagues (not all unfortunately)

Cons

Blame culture from management, paranoid management, no process in place, micro management, some colleagues working there who are just downright rude, lots of unclear politics, favoritisms, no clear career development.

A good stepping stone but not what it looks on the outside

Pros

Great office and location, employees have a good training budget which you have to spend, so you can sharpen your skills or use it for conferences, books etc. Friday free lunches and free breakfast. Good brand as a company to have it on your CV and overall a good stepping stone to move your career further but don't hang around too much.

Cons

It's very hard to get anything done, with awful backlogs and other teams create bottlenecks and blockers. Bureaucratic culture and poor decision-making on big initiatives from management. Cliques in upper management and if you're not one of the cool kids, you won't be given any support to get your work done. Huge legacy in the codebase which complicates everything you do and a lot of politics between the execs which creates a blame culture as well. As a company it has a strong brand and looks very fluffy on the outside but on the inside is a big mess! No wonder most people stay for a year, year and half and leave.

From Great to Fake

Pros

Standard tech industry perks which involve free food, free booze and of course the unmissable ping pong table. Needless to say you're fully empowered to pick your own favourite Sharpie colour and Post-it stack. Democracy at its best. Having said that, this is a good place to begin your career straight out of uni, but don't stick around as you'll pick up bad habits.

Cons

Behind the immediate perks and claims of being able to make decisions when best placed to, there is absolutely no trust from management and the executive team towards the teams. All the structural changes that have been put in place by new execs clearly demonstrate that teams should carry on being distracted by free cake and balloons, whilst nothing gets better, but infact gets worse for most, but benefits just a handful. No sense of urgency which means there is poor true employee engagement and also loads of coasters that are simply too short-sighted to see they are picking up bad habits that will never be accepted elsewhere. The great culture some talk about, is more like when you're in school and you're part of the right crowd. If you're an independent thinker, eager to fine-tune your craft and experiment you will automatically belong to the wrong crowd. When the wrong crowd numbers start rising, more right crowd types​ are brought in from the right kind of places to secure majority. HR is more than a joke whereby there's been clear injustices across all departments but everything is dangerously brushed off as coincidental or environmental.
