Pros

- People. Legend is very good at hiring for attitude, and the general culture across my part of the company is superbly positive. - Performance. At Legend, we're usually winning in our niche. That means vibes are generally good, and we'll have a lot to celebrate. - Remote-first culture. In office hubs, attending once per week is the accepted norm. - Benefits. Very good on the whole (though room to improve still, especially for fully remote employees). Good travel opportunities across the board, especially if you're based outside London. Minimum one big company trip per year, all-inclusive. - Long-term planning. We can focus on doing good work, even if it takes longer and requires more resources, as opposed to always chasing the next thing that flies by.

Cons

- Can get stressful. High performance, high-expectation environment. If you're average, you won't get away with giving less than 100%. The trend of the most successful people I see here are the ones who are brilliant, and can achieve very strong performances with 75-90% of their energy, which lets them both produce well, and balance their minds and bodies well. You need to do some of that self-management yourself, especially in remote-first culture. - Can get stressful. Industry requires reactivity. Changing priorities, dropping beloved tasks, reverts and rollbacks. You have to be agile, and be willing to let some parts of your work die on short notice. - We've had some s*****y management in the past. I'm very happy with my current setup in my current department, but it took a long time and a lot of work to get here. We had some false starts with different managers coming in to a few parts of the business, and had to roll with the punches and absorb some extra tasks when they didn't work out. However, I understand why each of them didn't work, and am happy with the present setup.
