Pros

Good Pay, above market rate for sure considering the lack of work you have to do. Good Benefits too

Cons

Reorgs - reorgs take place yearly - the current reorg has everyone reporting into the US - the management here in the US lack the expertise in local markets and it’s been apparent for months now but no one is doing anything about it - I’ve already seen 5 reorgs in 5 years. As well as this the US are travelling monthly to the UK which results in nothing accept a good dinner and social! Lack of innovation in product would suggest this is down to the fact the company has people who have been here for 10 years would suggest cutting these people first - every year in glint it’s highlighted the lack of career progression only the select few get promoted. The product hasn’t changed since 2005. So what have people done who have been at the company for 10 years? Re hires - too many rehires from eBay which everyone finds strange….

Pros

Good work, lots of AI experiments, AI innovation, latest tech stack, Co-workers are very co-operative and helpful. Most AI tools are still unlimited.

Cons

Some teams are over-working due to smaller teams as a result of recent layoffs. Office perks (like catered food, snacks) are dwindling every quarter even though company wants every employee to be 3 days a week in office. Company wants 80 percent code to be generated by AI but no clear guideline how to achieve that.
