      Pros

      Benefits, Brand Name, Global Company

      Cons

      Awful local management is compounded by even worse over arching management in the UK. Nothing is accomplished without 5+ sign offs by Directors and MDs. Advancement is based more on sucking up then achievement. Overall people are extremely unhappy, with the best employees leaving as soon as they can.

      Pros

      Can’t think of 1. Not even 1.

      Cons

      Pay is the lowest compared to similar company with the same role. Upper management speaks to staff with a patronizing tone; cutting them off, and talking down to them. At times it felt like they purposefully were attempting to find things wrong instead of working together as a team to meet objectives. Understaffed. Fully expected to do the work of a team of 6 despite being a team of 2 for example.
