Pros

They have a strong software development culture.

They do care about quality code.

Cons

Product team don't know what they're doing, we build a lot of stuff that gets thrown out because it's already been built by another team or we were building the wrong thing and have to throw it out and start again.

Projects tend to be done in a pseudo-agile / waterfall style.

If you don't come into the office 3 days a week, they're currently threatening to fire you.

The previously advertised startup culture has become resoundingly corporate.

They used to offer above average pay but now they're about average.

Christmas dinner this year was self-funded.

Share prices are down so the value of stock is down.

Senior management said this was their fault, now they're blaming the company's poor performance on us all working from home.

Advice to Management

End the mandatory 3 days in the office.
