Interesting to say the least

Pros

Honestly loved the people, they were the reason I stayed for so long. I’m still great friends with a lot of them now having left. Some of the projects are really interesting and you get exposed to a lot of cool things.

Cons

Pay - the lack of a pay structure and the fact (atleast in my team) you only had a pay review annually where you couldn’t request a certain salary, was extremely off putting. There’s also a lack of transparency around salaries. Management - certain management within ops was brilliant but within other teams, there’s a very hands off approach, leaving you to your own devices (which is great) but when you need support there’s nothing there. Stepping into a new role you’d expect some training not just being thrown into the deep end. HR - how a company of this size functions without having an HR department I don’t know. How can I raise an issue about my manager when they’re the only person I can go to? Or their manager who isn’t impartial? As some people have said it is just one big boys club.
