Pros

Celebrate calendar events. Some great teams and people. Immediate management in my team where fantastic, until the company decided they were costing them too much and made them redundant. Everyone works together nicely most of the time. Not a huge amount of office politics.

Cons

Management do not listen to the people on the ground. Opinions do not matter unless it aligns with management opinion. Good managers where made redundant. Management that were left were not great, and didn't really have a purposeful position left. Kept the wrong management due to cost. Work from home benefit is awful - 4 days in the office 1 wfh. No career progression available. No availability to side step into a different job/team. When office politics happen it's on a colossal scale. Management often overlook good work so they don't have to compensate you. Management, and the company in general don't support you when you have to look after family members, with the exception of children as they have to allow this due to age if under 18. Bonus's aren't reviewed often, so you could end up on the same bonus as you start with 6 years later. Training is hard to request with certain managers as they don't want you away from your role, or the cost of training.

Pros

I really have nothing good to say about this company.

Cons

Don’t dare say anything because you get fired, poor pay, no work-life balance, terrible management who are more concerned about image than results.
