Pros

It is a stable employer, no mass layoffs like with big tech firms. Everyone is very nice. The work is usually calm. Good benefits with pension, broadband, 50% off EE and other helpful schemes. Processes are starting to become more efficient (finally!)

Cons

It can sometimes get too comfortable - not a high performing culture. Poor performances from individuals are often tolerated. Great performances from individuals are usually not rewarded. Pay is far below the market rate compared with most tech firms and competitors.

Pros

Benefits are better than most US companies. You get twice or triple the numbers of days off per year.

Cons

Focus is more on originating company location for group events and emails. Due to time zone differences, it can be difficult to work with others without adjusting your schedule. It is difficult to get promoted outside originating country. Roles are few and far between in the US.
