I want to make sure I'm not putting myself at any risk
I think you are compared to working directly for a UK company in some situations, for example redundancy where you appear to have fewer rights eg during a consultation process. That might not worry you much.
I'd want to check for any tax issues, probably fine if the EOR is running PAYE.

Does anyone have experience of employers of record from an employee perspective?
I just did a first interview with a company of around 500 employees for a remote role, fairly senior. If successful I'd be coming from a huge multinational with entities and offices in most countries. The interviewer was very keen to tell me that they don't currently have many staff in the UK, so I'd be technically employed by an employer of record (EOR), and wanted to check I was okay with that.
I was honest and said that I didn't really know what that means, but would look it up after the interview and let them know if I was concerned.
After searching around, I now understand the concept. However, I want to make sure I'm not putting myself at any risk. All the articles about risk that I've found are so far centred on the risk to the employer, not the employee.
Just looking to understand if there's anything I should be wary of or ask specifically about for this type of arrangement.
