Pros

Great company ethos at executive level

Cons

The company keeps reducing the amount of time for installations. It has reached the point where the only way i can meet the times is by reducing the quality of my work and cutting corners. The company claims to be a great employer, maybe if you're in a call centre it is. But I'm a field role, not seeing another employee for weeks, constantly being pushed by decreasing timescales, it's pretty miserable.

Pros

Some members of the company are the best people you’ll ever meet.

Cons

Genuinely a complete mess. Incompetent, passive aggressive leadership that repeatedly makes both poor and confusing company decisions. I have some absolutely crazy stories from things I’ve witnessed here. There’s things that are so bizarre and dysfunctional, they belong in an alternate reality.
