Pros
- Some incredibly smart people - Great, knowledgeable and kind CTO
Cons
- Toxic work environment, very much a us VS them mentality with the Senior Leadership (Except for CTO) talking down to everyone, verbally unpleasant always - Promise the world when you join, but under deliver. If they were honest from the start then people wouldn't keep leaving - Presenteeism in the office; office is silent always, cannot really be yourself. Forced to come in for 'team work' but unable to even talk to your team without feeling uncomfortable - Attrition rate is VERY high - not just on SD, across the business - Socials are forced fun, seen to reflect badly on you if you don't attend (often not paid for by the company, so at your own expense) - Best Companies thing is a paid thing - do not believe that this company is a best company to work for because it is definitely not - Poor benefits (low pension contribution, low holiday at 22 days standard) - If you voice your concerns, you will be told that it's a you thing rather than any issue with the company - 80% of people you speak to are unhappy here, fed up and either are leaving or want to
