Pros
Free daily tea, coffee, fruit and biscuits. Christmas presents, random treats during the year. Work from home once a week after successful probation period. Early finish on Friday.
Cons
Cliche style environment. If you choose to keep to yourself, you're likely to be made to feel like the odd one. Unapproachable senior directors. Management do not take on enough to help their teams during the busiest times of the year. No support structure. No development, learning or career opportunities for non research staff. Very stretched workforce. Like it or lump it type attitude from management. People leave and their job responsibilities are added to existing employees jobs which makes it harder to ensure quality and attention is given to the main responsibilities. When team members leave and teams are constantly under pressure to perform. Retention is awful.
