Pros
- Good socials and networking for younger employees - Decent culture - Fairly flexible working - Good opportunity for industry accreditation - Guaranteed annual review of salary and bonus
Cons
- Wages are slipping compared to total market as the business benchmarks only a small number of companies - Benefits are a bit stagnant compared to market trends - Only a small quartile of upper management actually own shares in the company, and calling it employee owned is a bit of white lie. It's employee owned because it sounds better than management owned. - Benefits that were once taken for granted are now being clawed back, a reduction in overall opportunity per year for additional training, work outside of borders, some teams are returning more into the office, pay increases have been at or below inflation, even more limited opportunity now to own shares, etc.
