Pros

For the most part people are nice, good work life/balance.

Cons

Lack of software licenses. No budget for tools/hardware. Huge turnover of staff especially at the mid/senior level, with the most talented lasting the shortest. HR management is a disaster. The treatment of excellent contractors in HR by internal HR management is despicable!!!

Pros

-interesting new technologies -colleagues are great -salary decent -pension and healthcare package good -holidays easy to book and plan -nice building and facilities -easy commute

Cons

-severe lack of technical knowledge and direction in key managerial positions -poor collaborative attitude to the work, some are more focused on how they are perceived by the business as opposed to actually doing the work well -back biting and bitchyness rear their ugly heads at times -no career progression -no understanding of competence so they've allowed very good staff to walk away with no fight to keep them -shoe horning much needed technical exploration for new products and services into following processes that only impedes progress.

Pros

1. Good work life balance 2. Good name on CV

Cons

1. Site needs many years before being mature and productive 2. Management line stuff doesn't take risks, doesn't move teams forward 3. Managers (P4+) and above have much power and a lot of benefits 4. A very bad hierarchical structure, if you won't advance to a manager, you will stay at Senior Engineer (P3) with low salary 5. Policy rule the site, everything is arranged under the table 6. HR department is useless 7. Employees are not paid equally and fairly according to their years of experience
