Pros

All the people I have worked with and interacted with internally have genuinely been great. My manager is excellent and tries their hardest to navigate AVEVA bureaucracy. Pay is decent. Working hours flexibility is decent.

Cons

Executive culture has definitely shifted. Anyone that wanted to make the life of employees better has left. Cutting down on WFH benefits with various shallow excuses. Shifting to 3 mandatory in-office days from 1 despite backlash from employees. Dead-set on double digit growth even if it means cutting benefits to employees. Communication is good, but not transparent. A lot of excuses are thrown around for various choices with no concrete data to back it up, and any feedback from employees is promptly ignored. Smaller offices are in various states of disrepair (despite how nice their fancy London office appears). Preferential treatment appears to be given to sales. Benefits have slowly disappeared with no acknowledgement from upper management. One of the core values is sustainability yet offer no incentive for employees to be sustainable. Majority of customers operate in oil and gas sector, and prefer employees to commute to the office rather than work from home. And finally, most disappointing point of all: Most operations are done using Excel, even if Excel is the absolute worst tool to use for that specific use case. Every employee is reduced down to a series of Excel worksheets.

Pros

Great company culture, people stay here for years, which says a lot about how the company treats its employees (and how employees treat customers). The CEO and execs are clearly passionate about sustainability and helping the industrial sector improve its operations and engineering processes with industrial intelligence. Great products for major industries (power, city/country infrastructure, consumer products...). This is overall a great company to work for.

Cons

No red flags from my end.
