Pros

There are good people on my team, and I've had the pleasure of making friends.

There are a lot of social opportunities.

The free lunch is a lot better than what most companies give out (nothing).

Cons

Seen the company grow and understand some of the frustrations on here. The way they've changed promotion and bonuses means salary increases have become a lot harder to come by. People are offered lateral moves but rarely vertical. A lot of people have left, and teams have been left as a skeleton crew. The E-team are about as good at talking straight as Boris Johnson. Adverts for the company and their propaganda-type mottos are constantly playing in the lunch rooms, like it's 1984. Talks of brand awareness but no action since their rebrand a year ago, and being swallowed by bigger brands who actually advertise.

Advice to Management

The company needs to decide what kind of equity it needs: people or money. It's a lot harder to prioritize both.
