Pros

It looks good on your CV

Cons

People are unwilling to take ownership of tasks. The company is so large with a constant turnover of staff/redundancies. You feel like a small cog most of the time.

Pros

Flexible work hours Good annual leave Canteen

Cons

Management block you taking two weeks annual leave (breaking EU law) no training provided. Poor systems that regularly cause delays. Management are protected even when they are wrong. Your input counts is something they promote however, when you make suggests management lash back at you as they feel you are stepping out of your job role. Performance reviews are poor and management speak and you just have to listen, no engagement. Im doing a degree part time & even taking my own annual leave to study is an issue, extremely unsupportive
