Pros

Work life balance is good. It's situated in a good location. The canteen food is not bad. They have a company gym which although small is a reasonable price.

Cons

The transformation dept is the worst place to work at. If you get offered a role here don't take it unless you want a miserable life and that constant knot in your stomach every time you think of work. The place is run by people who have no clear vision on what they want and then berate you for trying to decipher what it is that they want. And they constantly change their minds on how things should be done. What a shambles. You have managers who don't have any backbone and don't support their staff when they are being coerced into doing things outside of their remit. Some of the management don't even know how to do their own roles therefore cannot clearly communicate what is required from you. Nor do they stand up for you. More likely they step aside and allow you to be in the firing line. The culture is increasingly becoming aggressive. Watch out for the knife that stabs you.

Pros

Values and vision well articulated. Strong sense of global network / community. Most people you meet are either very smart or highly motivated or both. Has good brand resonance with consumers.

Cons

Slow processes, which can frustrate some people while others become institutionalised and accept it as norm. Yearly reorgs and structural changes initiated by distant (but well-meaning) executive management.
