Pros

None. Nada. Nothing. Yes, seriously.

Cons

Ah where to begin? First, I feel, a warning: this company will destroy your mental health. That was my (and many many others) experience. From the very gatekeepers of company management who groomed an abusive senior/middle tier through a combination of dishonesty and unprofessionalism by forcing people to leave and covering up their complaints, only keeping their own jobs through what everyone knew were inappropriate relationship with upper management and gaslighting those that had left and could no longer defend themselves. A senior/middle management team who sincerely believed everyone else should work until after midnight due to the strategy of no rehiring for at least 6 months to "prove" the position was still needed, doubling or even tripling some peoples workloads and treating almost everyone with robotic contempt from his ivory tower. A senior/middle management trait those free work trips abroad and not even doing half the work so desperately needed, and dropping anyone who dared voice a professional opinion onto performance measures until they left. In their own words in a company-wide email, they took "advantage" of the Government furlough scheme, knowing would force some to quit because they couldn't afford the wage reduction and placing everyone who remained under intolerable and irresponsible pressure. Apart from management of course. They protected their own and would not assist when there were too few to do the work. And training? Little more than youtube videos, only to be done during personal time whilst management put themselves on courses. They even made an entire office redundant, only to rehire the least productive after three months and a day, with new job titles and widely agreed that avoided a very obvious employment law breach. As another review highlighted, 80% of the company didn't leave because they found something better, working zero hours contracts at Burger King would be better than this. If I could remove the stain of Applicable from my resume I would. In fact, appearing unemployed would be preferable. Of course, your experience may be different but 80% of staff leaving...80%...and all senior/middle management did was congratulate themselves on the recruitment...sickening.

Applicable is a great place to get exposed to a bunch of different technologies especially in the areas of infrastructure, virtualization, and Unified Communication.

Communication between global geographies can use some work but it is something that is constantly being worked on for improvement.
