Pros

- 5 days extra Al when you've been here a while - 6 months paid maternity - nice offices - some form of hybrid (but can easily offer full remote *if they wanted to* - really talented staff in some areas, especially of they have been around for a few years

Cons

- massive cultural change for the worse (anne wasn't perfect but she actually cared about the staff) - HR doesn't care about the people - Managers don't care, and just spit out the same spiel "give us feedback, give us the risks, we'll sort it" - which is a lie - Recruitment team doesn't care about internal hires who actively work on improving even if their opportunities are scarce - development is non existent unless you suck up to management. It's no longer accessible to move teams and develop in areas you're interested in - they do internal satisfaction surveys but don't actually accept the negative feedback.. it's anonymous, why should I talk to you about it? No thanks, don't want to be made redundant just because things are going downhill and I want to say it without fear of repercussions - no longer offer reasonable pay rises in line with living cost crisis (and think just a 2% pay rise should be enough to keep us happy) - they rub in their bonuses and how it's making a profit but instead make people redundant, burn out and leave - benefits are stale and they don't listen to new ideas
