Pros

A recognisable brand and a very diversified business model.

Cons

The politics, nepotism, backstabbing, openly discriminatory! All the emerging talent has fled in the past few years rendering the business wholly unstable

Poor culture

Pros

Not much. Good brand to have on your cv.

Cons

The culture is very much who you know and they have their cliques which are from certain backgrounds only. In meetings you have one type of background sitting together and the others alone and not encouraged to speak up.

Some great people and great onsite facilities

Cons

Too much politics has made it into a toxic environment. Hardly any support for those who need extra support.
