Pros

Some brilliant employees with some incredible knowledge and a friendly helpful core values from some. Breakfast paid for every Thursday and work from home every other Friday. Plus a free kitchen with a well stocked fridge , all the makings for a great company culture.

Cons

There are some levels of management who really beg belief how they got to that position. One team in-particular i have seen and heard no end of complaining with an aggressive attitude and public shaming/ humiliating that quite frankly in some circles is considered bullying . I saw one member almost reduced to tears as he was openly humiliated by one manager in particular for the most remedial reason and threatened to be fired! New idea's to assist the team are shot down instantly with no remorse and your told to get in line or get out.

Pros

Talented and supportive peers across teams, with opportunities to collaborate with capable professionals. Occasional perks such as catered meals and team events.

Cons

Management culture can feel unpredictable, with job security often uncertain. There have been instances where employees with strong performance histories, including those who had recently received positive feedback or recognition, were exited without prior warning or a formal PIP, raising concerns about the consistency and transparency of performance management practices. Promotion criteria are not always clearly tied to demonstrated results. Advancement can favor visibility and polished self-presentation over consistent execution and delivery, which undermines confidence in the organization’s meritocracy. Confidentiality of employee surveys is not always perceived as reliable. When feedback appears traceable to individuals, it discourages candid input and limits the effectiveness of these channels.
