Pros

Great culture: Fun and friendly environment.

Cons

Confusing because you have multiple "bosses" (project manager, line manager, product owner, and their bosses) who give you different directions. If you work on one person's stuff, the others won't be happy. Impossible to win. Performance reviews are usually done based on tenure and how much you go out with people at night, not actual performance. If you want a place to hang out, this is the place. If you want a place that will be the next Amazon/Facebook/etc., look elsewhere. There is too much emphasis on fitting in rather than getting real work done.

Thank you. If by "fitting in" you mean that culture is extremely important then you are correct. HR's role is to help support and advise both managers and employees on employment practices and issues. It's a collaborative process rather than one telling the other what to do. Thanks again for the input.

Pros

Great early years culture… Smart / Top Tier Talent and Capabilities

Cons

Lost what made them special… culture made obvious shift from “People are our Greatest Resource” to “We are a Numbers Driven Organization”… Think that corporate event closing comment changed around 2018/2019
