      Pros

      Great benefits, nice people in the most part, good development opportunities if you are prepared to do the hard graft

      Cons

      Bureaucratic; mainly focused on growth and relying on a few top performing people to deliver it. Needs more focus on diversity and inclusion with some cultural and leadership areas that need to be addressed.

      Advice to Management

      Focus on the culture and the people and the growth and reputation will naturally follow

      Pros

      Good benefits package. Desire from the top to be a good employer. Good access to training.

      Cons

      To many people seem to be working on projects and not doing their day jobs. Management always "on calls" with the US. Unofficial flexi hours being abused by people whos managers who have no control over their teams, so they come in late, lunch at their desk and go early and this seems to be ok for some, but no one seems to care, off putting when you work hard, seemingly for nothing extra. Either give us flexi hours or don't.

      Advice to Management

      Stop locking yourself in an office being "on calls" many of which you don't need to be on. Gain some people skills. Tackle problem employees as there seems to no appetite from either you or HR to do so.

      Pros

      Some great people who will go the extra mile to help and support you. In some instances even when when it should be HR and Management.

      Cons

      Job for the boys! Former military do not always make a successful company it takes work from industry related experience. Leadership team who are thinking only of themselves and not the company values/ethics.

      Advice to Management

      Replace the old school military management who would never survive in a true corporate environment. Bring in New blood who understand business and value their staff.
