Pros

OK Pay, good if you know how to work the system and are happy with this.

Cons

-Incredibly process-driven, processes themselves being inefficient -Far too many managers who manage other managers -IT support outsourced to useless people who are unhelpful -Silo working: most seem happy with this but it means everyone's work is duplicated - Major engineering issues ignored - HR is not fit for purpose. If you ever have health issues, god help you as they will make things worse - Many talented people end up in a job which is a poor match to their skills. Due to outdated processes this is difficult to resolve, and management are uninterested in a solution. - The company runs on buzzwords! - Training courses are a joke. The company wastes a huge amount of money on outside training providers who charge a great deal to provide nothing of real value.

Pros

Great work life balance Supportive environment

Cons

If you fall in the less than 3 years experience bucket, your best shot is the new graduate positions which have terrible pay and full-time employment after 2-years is not guaranteed.
