Pros

The People: For most of my tenure, the coworkers were the best part of the job—highly skilled, collaborative, and truly supportive. Reliable Compensation: Consistent annual raises and a dependable yearly bonus structure provided great financial stability. Generous Benefits: The PTO policy is excellent and allowed for a healthy work-life balance for many years. Engaging Work: The actual day-to-day tasks were intellectually stimulating and professionally rewarding.

Cons

Eroding Culture: Following multiple mergers, the "people-first" culture was replaced by a rigid, money-focused environment. Loss of Institutional Knowledge: Successive layoffs and a shift toward offshoring have removed many of the veteran employees who made the culture what it was. Disconnected Leadership: Management has become increasingly distant and unreachable; there is a significant gap between senior leadership’s goals and the reality of the employees’ experience. Devaluation of US Talent: Long-term US employees are being phased out in favor of cheaper, out-of-country labor, leading to a loss of the "team" feel that once defined the company.

Pros

Paycheck is great, people to work with are generally very intelligent, positive and professional. Many positions are work from home or at least hybrid. Continuous learning is encouraged. Since the company is technically British, it is very inclusive and has several networks to ensure inclusion (although some such as the menopause support group are UK based which isn't surprising as the US doesn't typically care about such things though they should).

Cons

The workload is often insane to put it mildly. You are expected to sort of "do everything". When you are encouraged to speak up if you have too much work, they pretty much tell you "well you just have to figure out how to get it done because we have to give you more work". There is blatant favoritism. Those who are liked are praised for giving detailed answers on calls and granted a month off of PTO while those not as well liked get grilled when they ask for one day off and are told "not to overthink" when they try to provide detailed answers.
