Pros

Some of the lower ranks are great and unfortunately not respected or given the opportunity to progress, so many great people have lefts it's such a shame.

Cons

Aside from the famous hack it's become more apparent that the main cause of below par performance and low morale for the last 3yrs is derived from CCO Andrea Webb who lacks the talent needed to bring the last few years of turbulence to a settled environment, the constant HC cuts are at ridiculous levels. If you have a different view on any business decisions then keep your mouth shut otherwise you'll be gone seems to be the motto. Most of the new jobs advertised lately are already sewn up for friends of the hiring manager and leadership.

Pros

Competitive pay, but very rarely worth it for the amount of work given.

Cons

In my experience, this was the least effectively run organization I’ve worked for. Core internal processes were inconsistent and frequently changed without clear ownership, which made planning and execution unnecessarily difficult. Decision-making authority was often unclear, and accountability for outcomes was limited. Several managers appeared under-empowered or insufficiently experienced for the scope of their roles, resulting in unresolved issues and shifting priorities. The culture felt highly political, with visibility and internal alignment sometimes taking precedence over delivery. Informal cliques appeared to thrive, which made collaboration and transparency harder than it should be. Suggestions for improving processes or addressing recurring issues did not gain traction and were perceived negatively, creating an environment where initiative felt risky rather than supported. I experienced the workplace as toxic, with low trust, limited psychological safety, and conflict frequently handled through escalation or avoidance rather than resolution. HR structures were not effective at addressing concerns or providing a neutral escalation path. Senior leadership frequently emphasized a unified company culture; however, in practice different parts of the organization operated with noticeably different norms and priorities, with limited integration into a cohesive whole. Overall, the environment did not support high-trust, high-accountability work, and sustained progress was difficult despite the efforts of some capable individuals.
