Pros

25 days holidays Working from home option for some employees Decent benefits: Gym, social club Top class engineering talent. Opportunities to work on interesting projects affecting millions of people.

Cons

Doesn't reward staff. Bonuses cut this year, token payrises given with promotions, <1% annual payrises. Effectively paycuts when bonus cuts taken into account. 3 months notice needed to leave the company for new hires, 2 months for existing employees. Managers are very poor on communication with employees. May only have meetings with manager a couple of times a year. No discussion on opportunities to progress and grow.
