Pros

Salary, sick pay, very friendly employees

Cons

The new MD has no idea how to communicate or run a business, expected to work a 50 + hour week with no incentive appart from the threat of being sacked if you do not, Salary looks attractive but dealing with the halfwit MD really is not worth the money, no job security.

Pros

Interesting work with plenty of foreign travel. Some good people there too.

Cons

Some senior staff close to MD are backstabbers. MD manages using telepathy. You need to be able to read his mind to work out HIS priorities (not necessarily the correct priorities!) He cannot communicate other than to berate you for something you didn't realise he wanted you to do. MD has many good qualities - foresight, drive, hard-working. He is a great business builder. He just really, really sucks at managing people - especially technical people. This creates stress. Mountains of stress! I was there for some years. I floated out of the company when I was let go. Stress of working there had given me alopecia. Took two years to recover. I knew I was being replaced, my job not being made redundant as they claimed. Could have sued for unfair dismissal, but didn't want to harm the company or former colleagues by hitting company financially. Looking back, I wish I had.
