Pros

Good benefits, working from home, flexible hours, hr process for anyone that’s neurodivergent

Cons

Had to fight my corner each time coming back from maternity leave, leading to mental health issues due to stress and feeling like I wasn’t heard when communicating my want to develop a career. Maternity process changed every time I came back off leave.

Pros

Great work life balance and vacation time....

Cons

Many internal issues and felt like this last round of layoffs was to protect inadequate leaders vs hardworking employees. I understand companies do layoffs but this just felt like Senior management trying to protect themselves because they aren't doing an effective job. I really think there are some issues with the leadership team and it probably needs an overhaul. There was never any strategy from product outside of one small area. The rest of the business was left without any guidance or support. I really think the US/UK shared services model does not work. The UK and US just are entirely different markets and the UK at the end of the day doesn't really care about the US nor move as quickly.
