Pros

- Being owner-managed, it still has an entrepreneurial, innovative feel - If you position yourself well, you get to work on some very interesting projects

Cons

- promotions to senior levels tend to be based on a "tap on the shoulder", as opposed to an individual's qualification for the job - people tend to be seen as resources as opposed to humans - development of people after graduate level is poor - it's in Dartford - the culture is aggressive and rather cut-throat - which gets in the way of people actually being able to do a good job
