- Toxic people, especially some of Russians/Belarusians/Ukrainians - A ton of bureaucracy, and you need to know people to get around it. E.g., you may wait for your PR to be merged for days, but if you know a guy there, he can merge it for you right now. If you don't... - Company is thrift - e.g., you only get a Macbook and £400 to set up a home office, and that's it - no external screen, no education budget, very hard to get funding to go to conferences. Always the cheepest wine at parties, etc, etc. Maybe it's connected to "no layoffs" point though. - There's the whole promotion framework, but very little clarity w.r.t how much money you will get at the next level. Some people get none, only more responsibility. - Stupid corporate "values" are stuffed into every exec's message. The only real value is "deliver, deliver, deliver, and no one will care if you're a jerk". - Attrition is very high - London office is very lackluster
