      Pros

      Variety of opportunity, lots of really great people, very attractive employment packages at all levels - very good pension scheme. Generous holiday allowance.

      Cons

      Massively complex organisational structure - hard to navigate. More effort expended in working through the internal politics than actually delivering the goods. More TLAs than you can shake a stick at!

      Advice to Management

      Have a good hard look at the organisational structure. The existing structure must present massive governance issues, and also creates significant functional duplication.

      Cons

      Too relaxed environment compared to other companies. Sometimes you will find hard to get other teams do their job.

      Advice to Management

      To promote more personal career and development plans. They could also offer a higher range of internal learning like languages or code courses.

      Pros

      Work-life balance
      Generous vacation days
      Great diversity within the company

      Cons

      Job security is awful. There has been rounds of lay-off over the past years
      Other places pay more for the same job
      Very limited room to move up with your career path.
      Not enough IT resources to provide support.
      I run into non-competitive people every so often.

      Advice to Management

      Hire someone who has expertise in their fields and pay them more. Stop hiring people with little experience just because the company don't have to pay them as much.
