Pros

Reasonable benefits, central location, bright spacious offices, flexible working all the standard stuff a company needs to offer to attract & retain in demand software development skills.

Cons

This place is attempting to transform but it is not pretty. It is quite clear that HR now run this company assisted by a few hired hands. Their remit you would expect is people but it now extends to everything. They have become experts in IT, communications, transformation and mind games! The constant drip of do not say objectionable things on Glass Door is but one example. They are working on the vulnerable, the weak, those that lack confidence and influencing them to say nice things. Many of the positive reviews come after a batch of bad ones (look for yourself) and are so over the top they are either crafted by HR or some poor souls thinking they can impress. You are being used! Think about who put the suggestion in your head and is this good for me or them. So after it being suggested I write a "positive" review I instead decided to write an accurate one! Old technologies, very top down control orientated senior management, cliques if you are not in you will not win, average pay (very average), questionable promotion policy if applied at all.

As you know, I am committed to providing a supportive and nurturing environment to allow our family of engineers to be successful and the role of the LIT leadership team is to support me to do this. I am therefore disappointed to read your comments and ask that you take the time to talk to me personally so that I can properly understand your perspective. Kind regards, Willie
