Pros

Working from home, free fruit and soft drinks, discounted gym, standard pension and benefits. Bottom tiered staff are always friendly and helpful, their culture is truly special. Actively championing diversity in the workplace. Keep it up.

Cons

The great culture isn't widespread and doesn't travel upwards in a lot of areas. Politics-driven, siloed, backwards thinking, manipulative and poor decisions. Manager doesn't care. Has told the team to care less. Has said they are looking for another job and doesn't blame the team if we do the same. Will throw you under a bus though. Very poor guidance and support all round. If you challenge the issues, you'll regret it. Management cannot take any form of constructive feedback. There are pockets of good management here and there, Sales in particular.

Pros

real remote arrangement for most staff

Cons

There is no direction except cost reduction. While revenue is a concern, there is no general understanding on how to remove internal barriers that stop revenue from coming in. Business model is not sustainable and it is surviving by selling off asset and business at the point.
