Pros

Company in expansion, new products coming along.

Cons

Very very poor management still placed in key places, mostly are from Rover times that have never worked for other companies. They behave in a dictatorial manner towards their subordinates, where I'm know more than you because I have xx amounts of years of experience in the house so don't argue with me otherwise I'll make your live miserable here. This sort of people still exists and is stopping the company to move forward.

Long-time employees are given excuse after excuse for not being given opportunities for advancement. It can be an extremely political environment.
