Pros

People are friendly, and supportive. Good work/life balance. Used to be a decent pension (which is why so many unhappy people stay). Many people 'look busy' and coast through.

Cons

Leadership is awful. Egotistical, bully like leaders who set the wrong example. The company cares more about the public opinion than the staff. This is a place careers stagnate and die, especially in the IT environment. Dishonest leadership practices and totally disconnected from the normal staff. Company claims to have an 'hopen and honest' culture which couldn't be further from the truth. If you're in the 'jolly boys club', you can do well, but if you have morals, it's not the place for you.

Free coffee and water. Subsidised cafe.

Emphasis on hierarchy, quickly hampers development of junior employees. Dated approach to employee relations and benefits. Politics foster an unfriendly work environment.

Pros

People overall are nice but not very welcoming. Coming in at a higher title, required information is not freely shared.

Cons

Very unstructured, resistant to establishing and follow processes and procedures. There is an unbalanced favoritism, a new employee will always be under the shadow and unfavored compared to a known employee when there are concerns regarding regarding business practices.
