Pros

Colleagues in general are supportive and approachable (with the exception of line management). Find the right people in the business.

Cons

Negative Culture and Diversity both on a local and global level that is ultimately driven by archaic, outdated views out of HQ in Germany, this is despite a massive amount of effort from employees to evoke some form of positive change within the business - at least at a subsidiary level. Extremely limited growth opportunities within small subsidiaries and often any form of development is offered on a bias basis to certain individuals without fair process. Unprofessional and under-qualified line managers unable to lead, motivate and manage a team leaving little (if any) respect. General resistance to flexible working - unfortunately out of touch with the challenges people are facing both practically and financially in the modern day world. Past Managing Director allowed to undermine, micromanage, discriminate and bully. Thankfully this individual is no longer in the business due to retirement and the U.K. thankfully under better MD leadership.
