Cons

Long hours that really drag on if you aren't doing anything

Cons

Depends on which team you are in and which business unit. The US side of the business is totally different. I have found the culture in the UK to be one of fear of loosing your job, 3 rounds of redundancy in the past 12 months. Lack of direction from the leadership team, who appear in experienced in growing a business and how to prevent further redundancies. Everything is driven by cost and not what is always right for the customers. Constantly feel like you are under the microscope in terms of time keeping and what you are working on, (depends on which team you are in) and not although working from home is possible it’s frowned upon by the old guard. Often giving you mundane tasks to do as they react to request from another manager rather than challenge and understand the value. Don’t often listen to the experience, qualification and knowledge of the work force, they think they have the answers.

Leadership ask for openness and honesty but if you raise anything you are shot down and they don’t like to hear it.

Leadership team need to lead by example.

Cons

Little responsibility/ challenge
No clear career progression

Cons

Bureaucracy can be heavy at times

Cons

Career progression is limited

Cons

USA Execs won’t release control, causes delays and poor decisions. Bureaucracy gone mad. Politics everywhere. Senior Executives are looking after themselves. Company growth internationally with typical USA do before you think mentality.

Cons

Like many large companies, it can be slow to implement changes or push innovative ideas.

Cons

Currently not a lot of room for progression

Cons

BIS is very badly managed and should be avoided. The senior team is a bunch of sycophants that have been promoted well beyond their worth, the senior manager is nowhere to be seen. Bad decision after bad decision, with absolutely no plan or forethought. Zero strategy, zero ability to generate new work and zero ability to manage what they have. I won’t be here long.

Cons

Ex-Army bods trying to run an IT operation totally out of touch with what's going on.
My boss had no idea of what I was trying to achieve professionally and just kept cracking the whip. Even if you're proactive to prevent escalation of problems, you don't get any recognition for it, so you end up working for nothing. I think you have to carry a 30kg backpack whilst working at a computer to gain any recognition. No flexibility with working hours and location was terrible to commute to in Bristol. Parking was limited. Split-site teams working in silos.
