Pros
There was a surprisingly nice canteen with curry being a regular (near-daily) option. Like all companies there are many nice people just doing a job who you would be happy to go for a drink with. The very top tier of managers get airconditioning in their offices. The car park is generous.
Cons
No strategic direction. No cohesion and so no teamwork to be turned and tuned into sharp tactical thinking. As managers move upward they disengage with their staff and others at lower management levels. Get up and get out. This lack of engagement desperatly needs to be reversed. There is an innate fear of competition which paralyses positive action as does a widely self-held belief that they simply deserve to win. A more realistic understanding of the company's position is required. They have completely failed to build an open, honest and self-critical team of talent and so failed to master the market. To sum-up a once-great company choked by collective arrogance and willing ignorance now driven by fear.
