Pros

Most of the colleagues are great

Cons

- The leadership team took bonuses only a few months before deciding to make 300+ staff redundant, most of whom will likely only get the minimum possible redundancy pay. I don't think I have to say anything else.

An increasingly great place to be an engineer!

Business outlook

Pros

• A growing focus on quality rather than speed, even from senior leaders • A growing focus on AI, with engineers empowered to experiment and explore • An environment where things get done, yet people aren't expected to work long hours • A healthy focus on data, without requiring every decision to have mountains of evidence

Cons

• Can over-index towards high-confidence plans and timelines, rather than high quality decisions • Team changes are too regular - the value of a stable team that rotates through problems isn't understood
