Cons

The push for immediate cost savings via mass UK redundancies and offshoring to Hyderabad has created a severe operational crisis, fueled by short-sighted incentives. The technical capability gap in Hyderabad is alarming; senior staff there constantly rely on the departing UK developers, indicating the project is failing outright. Instead of addressing this escalating technical debt, there appears to be an active attempt to cover up the instability. While leadership may secure quick bonuses, the reality is that this move is setting the stage for a catastrophic and costly long-term fix, which will almost certainly require reversing the decision and spending vast sums on contractors to salvage the core service. Of course by that time the c-suites will have been paid their bonuses and moved on to new companies.

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.
