Pros
-Many opportunities for personal development -Once you've proven yourself, management are happy to let you take on new challenges and solve the bigger problems within the business -Good opportunity to progress within the business -Competitive salary and benefits -The people in general are friendly and helpful -Great mix of work and social activities available -The products are aesthetically fantastic and there's a good drive for continual improvement from senior leadership Overall, I look forward coming into the office in the mornings!
Cons
-Resources aren't fully used; there are people with various skills who aren't stretched or given the chance for those skills to be honed -Communication within departments and cross-functionally are terrible. Some people have a tendency to let their inboxes be cluttered and aren't always keen to talk via phone or face-to-face -Too many assumptions being made about others' knowledge, so there's a lot of miscommunication of information (not helped by the ever-increasing acronym jargon) -Still too traditional in terms of work silos and approach to health and safety (it's considered a burden rather than an opportunity to improve) -A lot of politics (e.g. it shouldn't matter if you and I don't get along personally, we should still be able to work together in an effective and efficient way!)
