Pros

It's British & headquarters in London, which has advantages if you are based in London. Can be interesting

Cons

Most difficult place to get anything done of any place I've worked - big or small. Big negative outlooks from individuals. Poor HR Pay has got weaker comparatively

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.
