Pros

Good opportunities for development courses. Exciting projects. Relatively flat structure. Some excellent mentors and managers and some element of quick progression.

Very much a who you know business which can mean that individuals are overlooked/lost. A lot of change in management has resulted in a lot of uncertainty at all levels which is felt by all. Whilts used to be work hard and rewarded well, this has reduced in recent times
