Pros
  • Good package with lots of perks.
  • Generous leave after 5 years.
  • Super flexible attitude to WLB, lots of WFH opportunity.
  • Tons of opportunities to move internally (although not in the current climate).
  • A genuine sense of a company trying to do right by its employees.
Cons
  • Still too much internal competition and territorial in-fighting between teams, which makes it hard to do your job properly sometimes.
  • In recent years, there has been no travel budget, no entertainment budget, and no events; a very penny-pinching attitude to non-core things.
Advice to Management
  • Stick with the company vision. You have very loyal employees who are proud to work for a really progressive company.
  • Ease up on the purse strings for travel/events, etc. People are sick to death of remote-everything.
