Pros

Great team environment - a real sense of camaraderie and healthy competition high level of expertise - you really will be working with industry experts and leaders at the top of their game See the difference you make to people's lives - even if you do not have contact with customers directly there is a constant stream of updates around how we affect our customers, we don't always get it right and where we haven't we make sure we are constantly improving Regular recognition and reward - this can be done colleague to colleague and not just by managers, rewards are from simple thank you ecards to monetary vouchers and invites to swishy events

Cons

You are not always provided with all the tools to do your job effectively, this is mainly around equipment. Laptops are antiquated and network speed is a nightmare.

Pros

The company is going through plenty of change, many exciting challenges and projects. It has a proven track record of success and does seem to look after it people well

Cons

the company is populated with people that have worked there for years and have too many legacy attitudes that come from a job-for-life mentality. The long term employees are bad for growth insofar as they don't have an appetite to work hard and get the job done and rely on "that's not how we have done things" where as a more dynamic and progressive attitude is now needed.
