Pluspunten

Nice location in Richmond London, lots of perks

Minpunten

- Sold as startup environment when in reality just do what the US office says. - Highly political tries to pretend to be open and honest but rife with nepotism, people try to get the bosses ears and then power over others ensues. -continuous comparisons with others at your level, stack ranking , replaced with feedback which becomes the same. -Absolutely no freedom to try out new things unless management OK it. - No appreciation shown unless you tow the line , - Very little appreciation of the individual, company needs over and above always. - Very slow moving , legacy everywhere.

Pluspunten

Relaxing culture. family first. Stock performance is generally good for the recent two years and huge benefit if you're eligible for ESPP. Stable product with large customer base means you get opportunity to work on project with real impact.

Minpunten

1. Blind push for AI and leadership expect unrealistic efficiency improvement 2. Layoff every year in Feb (2024, 2025, 2026) and sometimes can feel the tension in team 3. Legacy tech stack with isolated and fragile infrastructure. Developer friction is a real pain. You get random infra down every once a while and internal support becomes even worse since they started offshoring to LCOL area in 2025. 4. Hiring freeze in San Jose... just expect more layoff coming up + frequent meetings at night / early morning across regions
