Business Outlook

Pros

Interesting work, good WLB/benefits, moderate career progression

Cons

Highly team dependent for software. Some are high performing, engaging, varied, and fast paced. Others are lethargic, crippled by too many managers bickering instead of doing, getting in the way of efficient work, obsessed with process.

Business Outlook

Pros

- Good Salary and RSU’s - Peers are supportive and some of them excellent technically which is good - Chance to work on cutting edge technologies

Cons

- Silent and inherent racism - Managers are toxic and technically worst, ready to sacrifice their reports to keep their positions safe. - Cross site politics with Cambridge always having the upper hand - Diversity and Inclusion is a big joke, just used as a show-off. - Promotions are difficult and there is no growth beyond Grade 5. - To survive, you need to master the art of pretending to work rather than working and also show how others don't work. - HR folks are mere puppets. - Company has sacrificed its European culture and moved to a American culture where execution is more important than quality or perfection.
