Pluspunten

If you like being micro-managed by big brother in Olathe, KS, then this is a great place to work. Don't show too much initiative or creative thinking, as this is clearly seen as rebellious. With a UK HR department that cares more about keeping you at your workstation during working hours than developing associates, morale is excellent.

Minpunten

Draconian HR approach to employees: a group of labourers to be controlled rather than inspired. Poor leadership: UK leaders generally do what USA tells them due to lack of any other ideas. High performers receive little reward other than a photo in the canteen when they have done well enough to be named 'associate of the quarter'.

Pluspunten

Great, and I mean great benefits.

Minpunten

Poor local culture, everybody is in their own clicks and don't deviate from them. Not a huge amount of office friendliness. Not many team building exercises, and qa gets left out of alot. If you're not a developer, you will have a yard time socially. Coffee is the worst I've had at a company ever. Return to office was not handled right, and the wfh policies were written very vague by a local manager, but what they actually wanted was very specific and was not communicated at all(avg of 1 per month over the course of a year). This lead to a problem where I was denied a wfh request to grieve a dead pet because I used wfh 2 weeks earlier to register a new car ( that I got solely for work commute)
