Pros

Great place to work if you like to eat sh!t

Cons

Every year the company rakes in record profits, while lay offs loom, remote days dissappear and employee benefits shrink to dust. You have to be stupid to work here.

Empowered Day-to-day, But trust gaps at the top

Trader

Business Outlook

Pros

- Managers are not locally located, which means there's less micromanagement and more autonomy in how you work. - Good opportunities to take ownership of your role if you are proactive.

Cons

- The culture in some teams feels like an "American boys' club", which can be alienating and discouraging. - A few managers lack the competence or people skills required for leaderships, which affects morale and team performance.

Average to bad and getting worse with bad leadership

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits are reasonable, many talented colleagues and mostly interesting work

Cons

5 days return to office makes zero sense for the majority of roles - outdated, backwards thinking and making it impossible to hire and has destroyed morale. Confidence/trust in exec leadership is gone
