Pros

Some very talented people who have the potential to achieve so much more than they are able to here. Birmingham management is good and there are valid attempts to improve culture at least in the Birmingham office.

Cons

However, be prepared for endless bureaucracy, office politics, demeaning attitude of London and Frankfurt staff towards people based in non-Hub locations, terrible technology, "we have always done it that way" culture and constant frustration.

Very collaborative environment with good leadership in most divisions.
