      Pros

      Pension plan (employee contribution +2% up to 10%); Benefits package; Retail discounts; Performance-related bonus; Salary, unless you're coming in new where it may not be competitive; Some managers are realistic, fair and understand staff are humans with lives and commitments outside of work; Hybrid working providing you work 4 days or more; 5 volunteer days; Personal development days; Can be involved in activities like volunteer days, hackathons and gigs if managers allow release of staff; Flexible working at managers' discretion.

      Cons

      SLT are out of touch with reality; Blanket change to hybrid working means it is being removed completely for some part time workers; Annual reviews and individuals' worth is based on the bell curve which removes any incentive for some to exceed in their role knowing there's no point in pushing themselves for no gain and to not even be acknowledged as being fully proficient just to fill the left of the curve; Often cannot obtain the required hardware/software to do your job due to budgets yet the company can throw cash away on pointless things like free branded socks, cakes and sweets, merchandise, and electronics and gift cards just for sharing corporate posts on social media; Salary advertised and offered to new joiners is not competitive and will not attract the best talent.

      Pros

      was hired as remote and get to have that honored, but have been openly told no career progression because of remote status. decent pay

      Cons

      Leadership instability: Seven manager changes during my relatively short tenure. Unrealistic targets: A sales quota set at 1,100% growth (not a typo). Slow product development: Getting anything actioned on the product side takes far too long. Product management turnover: Three product manager changes, resulting in no meaningful deliverables in over three years. Misaligned hiring priorities: Greater emphasis on DEI optics than on hiring people positioned to drive growth. Internal vs. customer focus: More energy spent on internal events than on product enhancements. Lack of accountability (the biggest issue): No one takes ownership. Responsibility gets passed around constantly — for example, client cancellations going unprocessed because they impact someone's numbers. Managers have openly encouraged pushing the work onto someone else rather than handling it.
