      Pros

      Perks. Technology stack. Attempting to "modernise" itself. Willing to spend money where it is needed and take risks on "moonshots". Fascinating industry.

      Cons

      Experience entirely dependent on your team and direct manager - some teams have a sense of comradery while others are highly punitive. Flat structure for individual contributors limits meaningful progression. Unusual decision making and lack of self awareness, particularly from HR. Resistance to change in certain areas. Mediocrity.

      Pros

      Good compensation, collaborative environment. Company also seems to aim to be at forefront of new tech such as AI

      Cons

      When HR mgmt is on record stating things like the company shouldn’t hire females anymore, it really makes you wonder how they make decisions on who should fill management positions
