Pros

Large stable organisation. Lots of very nice people on a personal level

Cons

People are expected to work constantly, poor work life balance, under resourced but no decisions on which projects not to pursue. Improvements and efficiency measures not taken up because it takes too long to get approval thru the various layers of politics. Departmental managers do not have the autonomy to run things as they know best. Training and travel to other facilities frowned upon as it costs too much.

Good progression but slow to implement

Pros

Company offers and supports career progression. Trying to push initiatives such as leave for voluntary work, charity events and flexible summer work hours.

Cons

Slow to implement changes. Not open and clear about bonuses, pay scales or redundancy process. Does not fully understand the need of a truly specialised company, particularly when making redundant small R&D team.
