Too much disruption

Pros

The small team I was in were great, then we got made redundant. Generally there's a nice atmosphere in the smaller offices. I felt like I had flexibilty to do my job and was trusted to do so.

Cons

It used to be a great company to work for, but there's just been too much disruption. Lots of redundancies, office closures, teams ripped apart and new people brought in who don't seem fit for purpose - but they're cheaper, or located in the right place. There's been a massive loss of knowledge and talent, which the company doesn't seem to worry about.

Abysmal technical leadership

Pros

Easy going, it's hard to get fired here. Pay is alright.

Cons

The technical talent is lower than what you'd find at top technical firms, there's a lot of emphasis on process (especially "Agile") to compensate for completely inconsistent hiring bar. There's a layer of "architects" that run around and talk down to engineering teams while creating useless powerpoint-ware and pontificating about abstract architecture at great length. Most are mediocre at best (Nokia / Navteq holdovers) that have gathered a lot of influence in their sphere, but at any major technology company, would not have a role anywhere near what they have. The leadership above them isn't strong enough to understand that real technology companies have removed this layer (or have very strong people in these roles).
