Pros

Nice place to work

Interesting technology to work on

Exciting to work on things that millions of people use

Flexible work environment

Good benefits, feeling senior management actually cares about employees

Cons
  • Tight deadlines and under-resourced projects can lead to occasional long working hours, because the work/life balance is often good, but there are times when it isn't where better planning could have prevented this, hence the low rating.

  • The process used to determine promotions and pay rises, TAP, is an opaque black box.

Advice to Management

Following the SoftBank takeover don't be tempted to grow faster than recruiting allows. Already we have issues with under-resourced projects. Starting too many projects and promising too much to the partners will have a seriously negative impact on your employees.
