Pros

Very good overall compensation package Good share scheme Free lunch Career opportunities

Cons

Too many self serving managers. Some incompetent but play the game well. Career opportunities exist but your chances depend really on who you know. Poorly managed graduate scheme with graduates leaving the scheme with no jobs to move into. Some graduates actually made redundant. Diversity & Inclusion all talk but doesn't filter down. Career progression difficult for ethnic minorities; very few make it to leadership positions

Pros

Supportive team environment with good learning opportunities and exposure to large-scale projects. Compensation and benefits are competitive, and the company offers strong brand recognition and career development resources.

Cons

Decision-making can be slow due to layers of management, and processes sometimes feel overly bureaucratic. Workload and priorities can shift quickly, which may create stress depending on the team.
