Pros
- Big, well-known brand operating in several countries - 2 days in the office per week, with some flexibility to adjust - Stable company with established processes
Cons
- Strong legacy footprint, with limited appetite for modernisation or decommissioning older systems - Change can be slow due to internal politics and risk-averse decision-making - Optimisation and technical improvements are often deprioritised - Career progression and promotions do not always appear to be strictly skills-based - No salary increase for three years, despite significant cumulative inflation - On-call rotations are large and demanding, engineers are expected to support systems they may not have previously worked on - High volume of false-positive alerts during business hours, which impacts focus and productivity - Office layout is confusing and not very intuitive - The office only offers instant coffee - the only company I've worked for without a decent option
