A miserable dump

Pros

Nice location, free tea and coffee and free drinks machine. Some good corporate benefits, some lovely people to work with.

Cons

Monotonous work, bullying favouritist management, stressful, overwork, short staffed, micro management, no career progression. Nothing is ever enough. Silent, oppressive working environment. Low pay, expectation that the place is the centre of your world and that you should want to be there every hour there is. Booking even a half day holiday is a drama because of the skeleton staff. Poor technology, convoluted procedures. If you like to see your colleagues on the verge of tears most of the time then work here.

Pros

The people I work with are nice. My manager is great and tries to allow flexibility in schedule and promote work life balance.

Cons

Compensation is low. Raises are very minimal. They dont fully fund bonuses. Its very hard to get a good rating bc of the rating bands. If you promote within you get underpaid. A lot of positions are overworked and underpaid.

Pros

Great colleagues. There is a lot of talent and many people to learn from. The atmosphere is relatively relaxed. Supervisors are understanding and management is approachable.

Cons

Workload can be heavy and unpredictable at times. Some weeks you are expected to work 60+ hours without any warning. Compensation is average and doesn't always make up for the long hours required.
