Pros

Acton (main) office is staffed with very nice, friendly people. Salaries are decent, good enough for Zone 2, and work-life balance is very good. The company is large enough that it will likely not fail, so there is a measure of job stability. Company name recognition is good for the CV.

Cons

Director-level and head of-level personnel seem to be competent professionals, taken individually, but the organization of the company is such that no one is incentivized to work together - there is no such thing as cross-org collaboration or team work, within the Dixons Carphone corporate office. The company is rife with silos and fiefdoms, and extreme duplication of effort. The internal workings of the company seem to be utter chaos, as a whole. This is a failure of Dixons Carphone's senior management - fortunately, many (not all) of these people left with the exit of the previous CEO. I have worked with and for many very large multinational companies, and Dixons Carphone is the worst I have seen, by far.

Pros

Very few. Some good people working there.

Cons

Shocking lack of strategic direction. Poor communication. Like being in an old boys club....dont dare challenge anything. Worst communicating I have ever experienced. Poor managers and directors who are self-serving. No togetherness everyone out for themselves. I never experienced and atmosphere like it before where bullying is so openly accepted and slagging othets is a hobby. No progression or real training and development. No autonomy or flexibility even though promised. Would never recommend.
