Pros

The company, at just under 1000 people, is a great size. And in the tech space, anyway, you'll work with some extremely talented people. Lots of opportunities to learn. Salaries are very competitive.

Cons

The company is prone to rapid changes in strategy which lead to frequent mass layoffs. (The strategic shifts may well be the right move, but the layoffs either show poor planning or a need to look good to investors first by looking big then by cutting costs.) Severance packages are better than nothing, but barely. They don't provide any support for managers, so if you get a good one it's pure luck. HR department is constantly overwhelmed and constantly misses deadlines with no warning. Diversity and Inclusion -- no, sorry, DEIB -- is great at political correctness and adding letters to things but makes no practical impact at all. Not really a con (or a pro), but expect sudden, rapid shifts in direction at the whim of big clients. (There aren't many clients, so each one is precious.) Benefits are meh.

Cons

Sickness grace isn’t the best

Pros

Decent base salaries. Due to the company's structure and goal shifting, you get experience in a lot of different aspects of the company. Past non-negotiable goal milestones, there is some flexibility, you have the opportunity and freedom to make the job your own. Good work-life balance, and commendable company goals around sustainable ag etc. made working here stand out.

Cons

Raises and bonuses not given for several years due to company not reaching unattainable goals. Lots of turnaround from constant layoffs. During my time there, I had a new manager about every year. No clear goals, and when they are clear they constantly shift. It is hard to grow salary wise within the company, especially when money is tight. You will be able to get more responsibilities and learn new skills, but don't expect your pay to reflect this. Lots of financial mismanagement within the company causing current R&D funding and operations to be barely present.
