Pros

General culture and flexibility around hybrid seems good with employees treated like human beings for example going for appointments etc. This is something important to me and I am very pleased they align with my values here, however it does feel like a low bar. People are also nice.

Cons

Onboarding was missing a lot. Everyone seems terribly overworked. Senior leaders working and communicating into the late nights / weekends. People seem to be way overstretched in their remit, just too many deliverables on every single individual. It's not sustainable and will never lead to the results they want. There is also a lot of complaints from teams being siloed but no clear ways of working / roles and responsibilities from above.

Pros

Decent salary & benefits, monthly no internal meeting days

Cons

Friendly reminder that HR does not care about you. They care about staff with seniority, whom they will allow to retaliate despite that being against company policies. Think twice about reporting the higher ups because it will come back to haunt you, guaranteed. Also, AI is the only thing that matters anymore. Watching the volume of once-impressive colleagues become so single and simple minded through constant AI usage is not only disappointing but genuinely alarming. Thinking for oneself is no longer the standard, it seems, and speaking against such unfettered use of AI in all things will get you professionally ostracized.
