• Pension matching
• Just Eat lunch vouchers and free coffee
• Pretty much unlimited tech budget that is refreshed regularly.
• Private healthcare and benefits budget
• Flexible work from home
• Colleagues are intelligent, nice, and helpful people
• London office is in a central location

• 2 consecutive years of significant layoffs in January for UK staff only. Some of those laid off had been at the company over 10 years.

• No career progression for roles in the UK they are being backfilled in the USA.

• The skill gap between leaving infrastructure engineers and those replacing them is vast.

• As other reviews have said, lots of middle management not really achieving anything.

• Social budget has been slashed from pre COVID

• Suspicious number of vague 4/5 reviews popping up on here since January.

At this point I think GR is at the point of no return. Management are only concerned on how they can get themselves up the next rung of the ladder.

However, I would advise management to revisit how the company was run when morale, staff turnover and other job satisfaction metrics were a lot greater to make the company a better place to work.
