Pros

Fantastic brand and market reputation. Dynamic company with deep pockets able to effect changes in personnel and product at short notice. Great office facilities, attractive work colleagues.

Cons

Increasingly confused compensation scheme. Seemingly reluctant to reward individuals for short term performance, loyalty and adherence to company values recognised above all else. Decision making overly autocratic and New York centric. Inability of middle management to question decisions passed down from above or think outside of the box.

Pros

Great Office, Free Snacks and plenty of social events

Cons

Be prepared for a heavily politicised culture — it's pervasive and affects day-to-day working life significantly. The organisation suffers from clear in-group favouritism at the leadership level, where certain groups are visibly preferred for opportunities, recognition, and advancement. This creates an uneven playing field and quietly damages morale for those outside those circles. Leadership collaboration leaves a lot to be desired. In four years, I didn't experience a single structured team-building or bonding initiative — a telling sign of how little investment goes into people and team cohesion. Perhaps most concerning is the approach to compliance. Raising legitimate concerns or challenging existing practices is met with significant resistance from senior stakeholders, rather than genuine engagement. A culture where pushback replaces accountability is one worth approaching with caution.
