Pros

- Flexible working. - Nice modern offices. - Decent progression opportunities if you’re willing to stretch yourself. - Wellbeing of employees is well considered.

Cons

- No bonus or benefits beyond the bare minimums. - Extremely bloated and absent corporate leadership team who spend more time announcing new appointments (who have no impact and move on after 6 months) rather than setting a clear strategic direction and enabling teams to deliver on this. - US Centric, teams outside of this geography are ill supported to deliver effectively. - Does not attract the best talent. - Bad behaviours and in-fighting between teams is encouraged and rewarded. - Comms focused on maximising trading value rather than being legible to clients we serve.

Pros

Decent culture, individual contributors are fine, management is lacking

Cons

The company operates like many smaller companies depending on which business market you are in so your experience will vary. For some, it's the best company, others will say it's the worst; it just depends on your region/group even at the local level. Water/wastewater is a good market in most offices, transportation is hit an miss depending on location.
