Pros
Great company vision, I still 100% support the company's mission statement. Team lunches were good and helped to get through the day. Most employees were lovely people as people (but awful as colleagues).
Cons
Double standards when it comes to work hours and family values. The company is great for employees with children who can work from home some days and adjust their hours around their kids' school schedule. God help you if you do not have kids though! Anyone who does not have kids is basically expected to give up their life, be there every day from early in the morning till late (past your contracted work hours), continue working from home after the office closes, work over weekends and during holidays. The claim of putting families first only applies for your own children, if you are an adult and want to spend time with your parents or siblings whom you may never get to see they clearly are not included in the family first mentality. Short deadlines and miscommunication. Each department has its own plans and targets, these are not communicated till last minute, and you suddenly find out you have to create something for tomorrow because another department has been planning this for weeks and has promised partners it will happen but nobody bothered to inform the other departments and check IF they have time in their already full schedules to actually deliver what is needed in time. Of course if you don't deliver you are in trouble because that was your task so the choice is between delaying your own department's work or ruining another department's weeks of work. You'll get told off either way and made to feel inadequate and like it's your own fault for not being able to do way too many tasks in not enough time. Trash talking former employees. There was a big turnover in employees for a period of time. The people who were still part of the team made sure to point out how terrible the previous people were both at their jobs and as people and made fun of them.
