Pros
Good brand. Commitment to making quality product. Lots of contracts to be delivered, a lot of smart people have been hired this year. Dynamic environment. Give them a bit longer and the new leadership should calm down a bit and be as approachable as they initially announced they would be (before disappearing under 50,000 emails). Lots of potential for it to be a real employer of choice in a few years time. Get the right line manager and you could enjoy it here. People are mostly forward thinking and if you can deliver on your objectives there is flexibility in how and where you work.
Cons
Everyone here is too busy. Too busy to execute that best practise they want to, or take the time to plan the strategy they have actually been hired to do. Too busy to do performance reviews. Too busy to eat lunch. I don't regret my time here but salary was about £10k under the market rate and a better offer came along. Some pockets of the business are collaborate and supportive, but some are toxic and many people are stressed. Some people were unpleasant and rude. Directors always seemed either frantic or exhausted. The expenses system was a joke. The pension was poor, the benefits basic, bonus terrible, but HR improved the maternity leave to be market leading which while not relevant was a good sign.
