Pros

The salary was not that bad.

Cons

Management is weak and often appears to prioritize personal relationships over competence when appointing senior leaders. Several managers lack the technical expertise needed to effectively support their teams. Performance reviews are inconsistent and are not always conducted in a fair or meaningful way. The company used to be a great place to work, but the culture has changed significantly over the years. The people-first approach that once existed seems to have disappeared. Employees can be terminated with little notice and, in some cases, without clear explanations. There is also a perception that favoritism plays a role in career progression, which negatively affects morale and trust within the organization. Company events sometimes create an unprofessional atmosphere that does not reflect the standards one would expect from a workplace.

Pros

Flexible working, can experiment with AI tools, decent equipment. Some good ideas from senior management but it doesn't necessarily filter down. Because everyone is spread around the world, on-call is mostly daytime hours, no overnight work required.

Cons

Old products never die, and SREs are expected to know in detail every part of multiple platforms across multiple generations. Everything is hand crafted - load balancers, orchestration, filesystems which leads to regular issues; despite being 100% cloud based, no real use is made of cloud native tools. The SRE role is more like a pure Ops job, reacting to issues. There is no team unity, lots of silos, little management focus which leads to people unknowingly working on the same things or not having a clear work stream. Feedback up the chain is rarely welcome.
