Pros

Interesting company to work for. Interesting products. As a Grad you get to take part in the Graduate program, not very much different from anyone else in the office apart from lower pay, but you get to visit cool sites for 3 graduate conferences over the course of your 2 years as a Graduate program. Culture is fairly relaxed of course there are deadlines, but nor very high pressured. As a graduate you get 6 monthly salary appraisals, or are supposed to.

Cons

-Slow career progression. -Slow learning curve. -Not always challenged and hence not a lot of personal Growth -Systems are old.

Pros

Work life balance, Flexi-time, Friendly colleagues

Cons

Slow to market, cuts being made due to state of the defence market has affected morale and put pressure on managers, low salary with freezes for years, Poorly run graduate programme, for an international firm there doesn't seem to be too much movement of people
