Pros

Good company for colleague outreach, work life flexibility, networks and feelgood bolt-ons. They want to be better than they are, just not very good at following through. Safe if you play the game.

Cons

Let down by bland leadership, promoting traditional corporate back climbers and poor commitment to action.

Pros

Can’t think of 1. Not even 1.

Cons

Pay is the lowest compared to similar company with the same role. Upper management speaks to staff with a patronizing tone; cutting them off, and talking down to them. At times it felt like they purposefully were attempting to find things wrong instead of working together as a team to meet objectives. Understaffed. Fully expected to do the work of a team of 6 despite being a team of 2 for example.
