Pros

Can’t think of a single one!!

Cons

Where to start! Management don’t care about staff. Board sleep with talentless women and promote them. Good people sacked for not brown nosing. Departing staff are constantly gossiped about in the office and lies told. Friends of the CEO hired and given job roles way above their level. Clients leave in droves.

Pros

Free fruit, free parking (for some) free lunch (for some)

Cons

Morally bankrupt company. Values are meaningless. They like to talk about wellbeing but in reality admitting to mental health problems puts a target on your back.
