Good place to work

December 2, 2019

Pros: Good office with a great view. Clear responsibility areas. Pays well. Interesting corporate events.

Cons: The carrier path is confusing. Higher management says the titles don't matter. Perhaps it is so for them, but it ends up with random and unreasonable title assignments, which leads to unnecessary tensions (conclusion from conversations with colleagues).

Pros: Some smart colleagues. Good amount of time off.

Cons: The people who interviewed me and the recruiters involved did not accurately describe the culture or office setup. There is a lot of drama and politics. It's incredibly inefficient and lacks transparency. It doesn't feel like much of a business plan exists. There are loads of secret meetings. The tech stack is mostly old and bloated. It is all just so unimpressive from the inside.

Vicious Politics, No Growth

Engineer • Current Employee

London, England, United Kingdom

Pros: I have some good friends, but it is not easy to think of anything great here. Nothing you could not find better at other places.

Cons: The politics are vicious, and leadership is ineffective or not existent. There is no path to grow. It feels like we are in decline and better days are behind us. The office is crowded and always under construction. Europe is not important to the company, so it is not a priority.
