Pros
There was a surprisingly nice canteen with curry being a regular (near-daily) option. Like all companies there are many nice people just doing a job who you would be happy to go for a drink with. The very top tier of managers get airconditioning in their offices. The car park is generous.
Cons
No strategic direction. No cohesion and so no teamwork to be turned and tuned into sharp tactical thinking. As managers move upward they disengage with their staff and others at lower management levels. Get up and get out. This lack of engagement desperatly needs to be reversed. There is an innate fear of competition which paralyses positive action as does a widely self-held belief that they simply deserve to win. A more realistic understanding of the company's position is required. They have completely failed to build an open, honest and self-critical team of talent and so failed to master the market. To sum-up a once-great company choked by collective arrogance and willing ignorance now driven by fear.

Procurement Manager

50m

I recently had an interview with an amazing company. The job description was exactly what I wanted. The pay was even better. It was a Remote position, which is a great bonus, but not a huge selling point for me as they are semi-local and would only require 2 days in office. The benefits were the best I've seen: starts on day 1 of employment, all insurances 100% paid for you and your family. 401k, 6% match, no vesting period. Continuous education and certifications, child care, To be cont'd..

EY

Just finished a case interview. Overall, I thought it went well but was a little confused at one of the charts they showed. After I provided my recommendation the interviewed said "great job" then moved on to questions. Is this a good sign to is this something that is commonly said by interviewers?
