Pros

Looks good on your CV.

Cons

There is a systemic culture of bullying and intimidation that is deeply rooted in the fabric of this company. It starts from the top and weaves its way down to all levels. Employees are not given any respect or any support especially from an HR department who only care about pleasing executives and have done nothing for the wellbeing of its staff. There is zero leadership at PA, especially those in the commercial and business development areas where individuals have been promoted to MD/director level roles with no experience outside PA and are frankly incompetent. Executive team and senior management need a full clear out.
