      New hires beware

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      So-called "Work and life balance"

      Cons

      When they layoff, the new hires are likely to become victims - happened to me in 2008. Looking in retrospective it is unclear what the motives are to open these positions in the first place, when the decision makes clearly knew what was coming. Beware when you get an offer from them!

      Good company to work for overall but a struggle for top performers who expect faster paced change and job acceleration

      Strategy and business development
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - nice culture - good benefits - ample vacation time (London based employee) - strong family values - open door to management - opportunity to distinguish yourself and make an impact if you're willing to work hard, drive change and produce creative solutions to problems

      Cons

      - not great at promoting top performers (they seem to subject everyone to the same 2 year promotion process regardless of how good they are). - legacy of A* performers leaving because change is too slow / frustrating. in turn C players tend to stick around and get promoted by default. - siloed environment - not a lot of true cross functional collaboration - marketing is only just becoming more consumer oriented. professionals tend to be uncreative and unhelpful and supporting anything outside of their core agenda. - product has to do SJ's bidding. very little regional control or resource to support new ideas that might move the needle. - slow to get anything done

      Quality of Life

      Account manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The best benefits in the industry. Awesome insurance, very generous PTO and every 5 years you get a month-long paid sabbatical. Work life balance is very important.

      Cons

      Limited career advancement in certain areas.
