Pros

Competitive Pay Some Good People Good Benefits Subsidised cafeteria

Cons

Massively understaffed. Management know and do not care. Self promotion is key. There are so many lifers who are, quite frankly, awful at their jobs. The atmosphere is horrendous; make sure that you document everything. Some managers can’t even be trusted to remember what you’ve said in 1-1s. They have a dangerously understaffed product department. Making redundancies whilst they don’t have enough people to do the work as it is, is incredibly stupid. Good people are leaving, too, only making the workload higher for those who remain. It feels like the emperors new clothes… nobody senior owns anything. It’s also incredibly slow and bureaucratic. Avoid, if you can.

Pros

Great benefits. Everyone is friendly and helpful. They do more than just pay lip service to work life balance

Cons

Like any job, the manager is the one that can make or break the position

Pros

Great benefits (PTO, healthcare, etc.) for FTEs

Cons

Everything else - Carousel of management changes - Vague and ever-changing role/job descriptions and associated metrics - The constant feeling that we're all about to be laid off but must "prove" our value in the meantime
