Good name to have on the CV
Pros
Decent pay and people. Good office location.
Cons
Double standards for employees and management. Pre covid managers could WFH but for employees it had to be mitigating circumstances. Projects were not managed correctly, tickets were added ad hoc throughout sprints, then we'd be scrutinised as to why we didn't reach sprint goals. No software architect to design systems properly. Having to change a major part of the data structure half way through the project, as product owner didn't know how that section of the business worked. A lot of good developers left so they've taken on loads of contractors. We were actively encouraged to borrow managers Land Rovers or Jaguars but when people tried to book them, they said they were 'busy' and cars couldn't be borrowed. I overheard a Level 5 manager say that a candidate should be hired because 'we need more women in the office'.
