Great people but mediocre otherwise

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Friendly and talented people. Good engineering discipline. Some nice tech and interesting work available, though this is highly project-dependent. Positive attitude towards learning and development, such as training courses and conference trips. Decent pension and private medical insurance benefits. Traditionally given the choice of Christmas or New Year's week off as additional holidays, plus a small Christmas gift.

Cons

Senior management are arrogant and crafty. Business focus is on a constant treadmill of acquisitions, some of which have been handled very poorly. Mediocre compensation, with minimal pay rises and bonuses compared to local competition. No real incentive to perform highly, unless £5 Amazon vouchers are your thing. New executive leadership axed full WFH and summer hours benefits, so work-life balance is not as good as previous reviews would suggest. Poor excuse of a 'career framework', which means nothing in practice anyway. Goal setting, reviews, etc., are exercises in time wasting. The company is almost 30 years old and apparently still hasn't figured out some of the basics.
