Pros

Great team members with a strong support network, nice modern culture, good line manager, great parties, good structure, well organised operations most of the time.

Cons

Many talented people are under looked for promotion therefore end up leaving, it's all about who you know and who's bottomyour kissing not about the quality work you do and the target driven performance that you achieve. People are moved into assessment centres before they have even understood the basic role and what it demands, less than 18 months in a role should not permit promotion when those individuals can't even fit the basic equipment or manipulate store systems. Many high performers who have a world of experience are promised the next slots on assessment centres but never get them, although the line managers and upper management are more than happy to off load extra duties onto those experienced employees because they know the work will be done to the standards they require. This has been going on for years and is totally unfair. I ran circles around people, took on extra work, understood systems very well, creative equipment solutions and performed above and beyond but I was not noticed as I wasn't kissing bottoms.

Pros

Great people who believe in a common mission. Strong leadership and support.

Cons

Budgets and decision making for technical programs are centralized at a high level with little to no consideration for how it affects individual programs and their unique needs. Heavy bureaucracy involved in setting up simple things.
