Pros

Good graduate scheme Friendly colleagues, even those at senior levels - they're always happy to help where they can Good help for Chartership

Cons

Pay at lower grades is not as good as they make it out to be. They claim to be employee owned but only about 20% of its employees have shares, so I'd dispute that. Won't allow you to get paid overtime in general - only project specific work can and that's if you're lucky.

There are some good people here and there, it is safe, it was a nice company at the beginning of my employment before things went downhill

No opportunities for growth, micromanagement, timesheet issues, low pay, cutting away benefits for employees while bragging that revenue grows, poor internal mobility
