Pros

Free shoes, nice people, cool office, big company, location good for public transport from a variety of locations. Generous life insurance and travel insurance. Good Christmas party.

Cons

Truly awful HR department, CS rife with cronyism, poor training, no support given. The most junior staff member having to do two peoples jobs (purely because more senior staff "didn't predict the success of the brand") with no support, and then being penalised heavily for a mistake (fired). All orders are placed by the junior staff member, then checked by: up to two sales team agents Senior sales agent CS team leader CS manager The relevant customers If all the above also miss the mistake,admittedly made by the junior staff member, then it is an utter disgrace that it should be the junior staff member to take the entirety of the fall. The safeguards in place are only to protect the higher ups, at the expense of expendable junior members. Waiting until the staff member is on holiday before essentially ganging up on them upon their return, really supportive of your team. This is what will happen to you at Wolverine. The CEO and the very senior management are exceptionally self-congratulatory and genuinely make no attempt to even appear to care about the people below them.

Pros

- The people and community feel - Early office closure on Fridays... breakfast and coffee freely available... regular team drinks... drinks trolley - Opportunity to get involved in different projects... at least within Europe

Cons

- Senior staff in the USA who have little to no idea on how things work in the UK or EMEA... but want to micromanage everything!! - Huge workload with ever-decreasing resource and no acknowledgement of this in salary/package

Pros

nice office in the heart of London (Kings Cross), free cereal and drinks, free shoes every season.

Cons

Rigid micromanagement, clear profit over people culture. Strictly controlled 45 minute lunch breaks and clock-in, clock-out environment. No one goes above and beyond the call of duty unless they're promised a healthy bonus. Note - my tenure was quite a while ago now, so things might have improved since then.
