Pros

Purpose driven - high level of ethics. Very good technically, immense care taken to develop products to the highest standards. Good people.

Cons

Slow, overly prone to internal spin - immense amount of effort wasted managing internal stakeholders instead of trying to beat competition. Pay and benefits gradually being eroded. Limited progression opportunities

Hi. Thank you for your review. We appreciate the feedback - both positive and constructive. In the first instance I would suggest that you set up a meeting with your HR Business Partner to discuss your concerns in more detail, as they will be able to offer further insight. We focus on our diversity and promoting all opportunities to any individual - no matter their gender.
