Pros

It was once a great company to work for before becoming bloated, and introducing a 40% minimum ratio of women in senior positions. This has resulted in some very ordinary people being promoted well above their ability just to make the ratio. This has resulted in a situation where poor decisions are being made and the company feels like a ship without a rudder at the moment. I left as I could no longer put up with to toxicity. Nice building to work in though.

Cons

While I was lucky to avoid the last few years of "restructuring" the company atmosphere is one of distrust and the environment is toxic due to the continuing uncertainty.

Pros

Decent company, good stock plan, good people who want to see you grow

Cons

Very remote management makes things hard, very little team work is locally siloed so its hard for managers to understand the boots on the ground view. Managers are great people but spread very thin, sometimes they accept work before having staff for it(classic consulting move)
