Poor culture

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Not much. Good brand to have on your cv.

Cons

The culture is very much who you know and they have their cliques which are from certain backgrounds only. In meetings you have one type of background sitting together and the others alone and not encouraged to speak up.

Some great people and great onsite facilities

Too much politics has made it into a toxic environment. Hardly any support for those who need extra support.

Pros

Reasonable pay, not much pressure

Cons

Almost impossible to do anything. Communication between departments is completely nuts, QA does not care what are the changes to test, developers are getting tasks from business already after deadline with critical priority :D, critical tasks in progress are sometimes completely redefined every day, releases are joke. Everything is super restricted and there is no clear path to change anything. Tools are chosen by business people (although devs are regularly surveyed if they have the tools to deliver great results and then ignored) Starting to restrict remote work.
