Pros

They are a wealthy company with some amazingly talented people

Cons

Since being acquired by SoftBank they are making quick and stupid decisions. They are hiring quickly just to get numbers in and each division is just waiting to be sold off. The HR team use to go the extra mile, now everyone is just a number not a person. Teams are overworked, their mental health is suffering and their work life balance is nonexistent. I have watched a number of my friends have breakdowns here from being overworked which is why I chose to no longer be part of it. This use to be the best company to work for in Cambridge where people were proud to work there and it’s such a shame it’s no longer like this.
