A shadow of the outstanding company it used to be...
Pros
The company is excellent at encouraging multi-cultural exchanges and inclusivity. There are some great people still at the company, who are long-standing members of the company from when it was much better. Once a year they do a company party, which is fun assuming that everyone you know hasn't already resigned. Good company benefits but mostly geared towards Manchester Head Office workers.
Cons
Goal-posts not only for success, but progression are constantly moved. Progression is halted for many, under the guise of 'it's coming', only to have those promised roles filled by people from other countries. Good for recent graduates who need an OK-paid job, but anyone seeking progression should look elsewhere. Bonus-structure used to be market leading, but the goal-posts have been moved so high that it is almost impossible to make a handsome bonus anymore. Low transparency on business decisions and views for the future, until they've already been implemented and negatively affected everyone who has been working towards something else for years. Staff turnover is extremely high, so improving processes is difficult as every time you talk to a department/role, it's someone else and the process starts all over again. Lots of red tape as to what you can and can't do, with most decisions requiring approval, which not only diminishes autonomy but also takes a long time and damages relationships with customers.
