Pros

-Benefits, private health care, money off books, Christmas books free up to the value of £30 -Positive atmosphere -The company actually wants to improve you, progress you and make you better -Course they put you on -Canteen - food is very good. Nice to have a big canteen to socialise and eat in -Glass house building is very swank -Mostly professional people working here -Company you are proud to have on your CV

Cons

-Due to the size of the company there is a long chain of things like approvals to buy new equipment -Have to follow a certain process to escalate issues which can be quite long winded -Within the technical department there is a sense of 'We don't cover this take it back' -Christmas party big let down, no dinner or entertainment. Expect a bit more from such a big company.

Pros

A lot of nice people and great books to work with.

Cons

Very antiquated systems. Sales teams and a lot of teams are in bubbles. There are a good amount of managers and higher ups that have been there for a while (10-30 years) and they don't like change, make their teams life hell, and keep them more siloed.
