Pros

Nice office. Work life balance.

Cons

Not what it used to be. Some really toxic bubbles. Got rid of great people and promoted useless ones. Witnessed awful bullying with the constant fear you are next. No movement or development unless you are a chosen female by CTO.

Toxic cliquey favouritism in IT, stab from the front

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Learning opportunities Budget for training Not overly corporate Inspiring COO

Cons

Toxic leadership group in IT, competition and backstabbing. You are asked to give performance reviews to peers but this is used as a political tool for those trying to compete for attention from the COO and CTO. Very difficult to integrate into the clique that have in the organisation who have been there many years as well as those newer pandering to management. People will do whatever it takes to protect their fiefdoms. The CTO is talented but very blinded to favouritism. The COO has amazing vision but needs to pay attention to getting the basics right.
