Pros

There are some lovely people that work there. The building facilities are good (gym, fruit etc).

Cons

Your treatment is based on whether or not your face fits and who likes you, in addition to the department you work in. The approach to staff discipline and support is inconsistent at best. Some staff have been let go for their absence, yet others have triple the amount, with no repurcussion. People are exploited for their knowledge and skills, but not rewarded with tangible opportunities to progress or develop. Jobs roles aren't always made accessible to the business, as some colleagues are promoted and given new job roles without the need for an interview or allowing anyone else a chance. Senior managers are there one day and gone the next, resulting in a very unsettling working environment with no understanding. The rate of staff suffering with mental health issues is at an all time high and a contributing factor of this is the pressure and environment you are working in, yet if brought up in conversation you'll be persuaded to think that your issues stem from your out of work life and that the company cannot possibly be causing you stress.

Pros

Close-knit team structure. Reasonable pay. Flexible working hours. New CEO is providing frequent and personal communication about wider business matters.

Cons

Increasingly combative and politicised culture. Colleagues are not open to exploring or discussing new ideas. The culture encourages work for the sake of work, colleagues are frequently online during their annual leave and after-work hours, and line managers have said that if you want to be considered for promotion you have to put in unpaid hours. No clear paths for professional development or growth in role and responsibilities. Line managers are disinterested at best and hostile at worst if you wish to discuss promotion opportunities. Senior leadership can be out of touch with business challenges and opportunities. Flip-flop approach to management from both line managers and senior leadership. The business doesn't reflect and learn from mistakes. However this appears to be changing with the new CEO.
