Pros

- Some seriously hard technical challenges due to the dilapidated state of most of the products, caused entirely by poor management, but will give you plenty to write into your CV for future jobs - There are some truly excellent people working in the company, but they are never at a management level where they can cause serious change in the 20 years outdated opinions of C suite - If you want to, and there are many employees like this, you can put your self in neutral and simply coast by doing the bare minium - If you are able to work yourself into a position where you are liked by management, you could probably work here forever, regardless of how good you are at your job - The business (as in its revenue), despite all the negatives of working there, is actually quite successful

Cons

- Terrible salary - Many product managers/business experts making decisions on technical products that they have 0 understanding of, resulting in every product being poorly managed - C suite is entirely blind to the reality of working at the company - Hybrid working policy that serves nobody, especially when half of your team will be in a different time zone entirely and every meeting will take place on teams. No office culture exists, or is attempted to be developed, office kit (monitors etc.) is shockingly bad. - A complete inability to hire new staff due to attempts to hire in lower salary areas, vital positions will sit vacant for 6+ months - Most teams are working on completely dead frameworks/languages, this will often provide terrible career progression - CEO seems to think that bots/fake people(?) are posting terrible reviews on Glassdoor, instead of simply that the company is poor and that he should do better
