Pros

There are loads of company perks, plenty of cross department moving opportunity and is also extremely equalitarian company to work for.

Cons

Loads of bureaucracy however and not necessarily the brightest people in. Sometimes it will be hard to drive your career how you would want it

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.
