Pros

flexible working & free canteen.

Cons

The company places significant emphasis on its external image and "Great Place to Work" branding, but this is not always reflected internally. There is a heavy reliance on contractors and consultants, while longstanding legacy issues remain unresolved. Strong employees and good intentions are often undermined by slow decision-making, bureaucracy, and a lack of focus on addressing core operational challenge
