Pros

Retention Bonus, Team outings, beer fridays, competitive remuneration and you can tell your friends you are working for a company awarded with so called 'Best place to work' award.

Cons

Management is old school. Lots of talking behind people's backs. Most importantly they will fire you without any reason just because they want to, without any prior notification. (probably because poor management and ran into budget/planning issues) Join at your own risk. NOT RECOMMENDED

Pros

Pay is always on time Free lunches Well-stocked snack pantry Most coworkers are talented, capable, and genuinely good people

Cons

A toxic culture is normalised and, at times, rewarded Leadership lacks emotional intelligence and people skills Fear-driven environment that negatively impacts mental health Annual redundancies appear to be the default cost-cutting strategy Office politics are enabled by certain Engineering and Delivery managers HR has limited authority and functions largely as a messenger rather than an advocate for employees The overall culture discourages trust. People struggle to form genuine friendships because of constant uncertainty and internal politics. Joining means you are largely on your own. A toxic culture is normalised and, at times, rewarded Not recommended. Avoid if you value mental health, stability, and transparent leadership.
