Pros

Benefits are good Global brand looks good on a CV Some good colleagues despite the culture

Cons

Wellbeing is ignored and workloads are excessive, stress levels are high, and burnout is common. Leadership talks about support but delivers very little in practice. Return-to-office policy is a rigid 4-day mandate is being pushed with little regard for individual circumstances, team needs, or the fact that work can be done effectively from home. Flexibility is not encouraged, and employee wellbeing is an afterthought. Work-life balance is non-existent with long hours and out-of-hours demands are routine. Personal boundaries are not respected. Chaotic onboarding and broken processes with unrealistic expectations. Management culture is toxic with micromanagement, shifting priorities, unclear expectations, and goalposts constantly being moved. Instead of enabling staff, leadership increases pressure. Culture of fear and mistrust, people focus on self-preservation rather than collaboration or innovation. Lack of career transparency, progression depends more on politics than performance.

Pros

Easy Nobody really does any work because of how locked down it is. Even if you wanted to do work you can’t because you have to wait for other teams that don’t do work.

Cons

Awful leadership. They laid off thousands during a profitable quarter. Unreasonably greedy ceo.

Pros

You have a job/career

Cons

Barely anyone speaks English. You are put in a tiny overcrowded room ("the lab") and have zero space or comfort zone. People cough and sweat on to each other due to lack of personal working space. You don't even get a locker or drawer. The Water Park Place building is terribly overcrowded. Management is only concerned with timelines. People are used to casual racism and rudeness. Work from home is not allowed.
