Pros

Scope to grow your career, great exposure to the latest dev tooling. A great employer overall.

Cons

A big corporate oil tanker.

Operates akin to a semi-state body.

No bonuses in the last few years.

Some decisions (colocation, return to office) were made under the auspices of collaboration. These are partially designed to force staff out, lacking transparency.

Advice to Management

Listen more to staff before they leave.

Don't buy a company for 34bn then say to staff there are no bonuses.

Refresh all employees' monitors. 27" 1440p should be the bare minimum, 32" 4k should be the standard. 24" 1080p is prehistoric by today's standards.
