      Pros

      General shift 9-6. Good location. Good Work life balance.

      Cons

      Pathetic management.. False promises by HRs.. No growth. Poorest salary package.. TLs are so much biased in case of gender/religion which i never expected in corporate. They favour only russian medical graduates. So don't go if u have done MD/MBBS from govt college. Too much cost cutting.. Dirty washrooms.. Worst canteen.. Very very unhelpful people. Too much groupism in every team.. Some people will get too much privilege & some won't get any.. Good for people who don't have brains & who don't want to learn anything new in life & wanna sit at same place for next 20-25 yrs. Best for people who belong to the same religion as of manager/TL/lead. Depressive atmosphere for sincere & hard working people. No respect towards MD physicians.. No WFH..😥

      Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate that you have voiced your concerns and assure you that we are committed towards helping, nurturing and collaborating with colleagues in our company. You seem to have had some bitter experiences, and we sincerely regret the same. However, we'd like to highlight here that we have a very open culture within the organization where all matters pertaining to employees are heard and worked upon. Our colleagues are also provided complete visibility and overview of company policies including work from home policy. As for transportation, this varies from company to company and not all companies provide transportation to employees - especially those operating in only one general shift. We assure you that we believe in trusting our colleagues and respecting the diversity within the organization, so that we all thrive together.

      Poor management and career opportunities

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Good and flexible working times - Overall nice people to work with - Possibility to do training courses and go to conferences - 10% time for technology teams to learn new things

      Cons

      - People in Management positions don't seem to understand their job or can't handle it which leads to many bad decisions, questionable approaches and a 'blame game culture' - Lack of resources and support for people further down the hirarchy - No real career opportunities within the company for personal growth - Low salaries and no significant salary increases - No compensation for over-hours, even though over-hours and weekend work seem to be expected sometimes

      Pros

      I worked in the SN Digital department. The company has tons of money and will spend it on those who ask. The SN Digital department in particular, was able to secure a budget for snacks and fresh fruit and pizza lunches. There are also "reset days" where the teams are able to brainstorm on some new ideas in the morning and then go out for lunch and a fun activity - pizza making, escape rooms, white water rafting. Sometimes, entire teams go away to strategise, and overseas trips are not unheard of. The work space itself was excellent, the London campus was quite nice - plenty of balconies that overlook the canal, and quite a few little breakout spaces to gather your thoughts in. There's even a subsidised canteen and cafe, and the location was close to lots of nice restaurants, a giant Waitrose, the canal and even sporting venues. The work life balance is very relaxed, depending on the team, which is both a pro and a con.

      Cons

      - Big company, so a lot of money is wasted, especially by having large teams who don't innovate, and are paralysed by the idea of innovating (the fallout from doing migration work for so many years). Work was unevenly distributed within & between teams, so sometimes developers sit around bored. Product managers sometimes scared to do big things, as they don't have full control of the product. - Not everyone in the business understood the value of IT, which also makes innovation very hard. Nature editors didn't always want to do things the digital way, as print was all they knew. Unfortunately they often have final say and the Digital department has to work very hard to convince them to do things that a newer company wouldn't even think twice about doing. - I felt like my exit interview was just formulaic, HR didn't seem to really care about my suggestions. - The organisation itself if very political and there isn't much room for progression. It is very much a "who you know" type of place. If you're not in with the right people, doesn't matter what you say or do.
