Pros

Decent thing to put on resume.

Cons

The place is filled with people who are full of themselves. Constantly having to work in an environment where people are either trash talking coworkers or upper management is not a place anyone should need to be. It's an uncomfortable environment, the work culture is boring/sad, and no matter how hard you work nobody cares.

Debunking the Myth

Pros

Very few good 3rd party collaborators who bring added value to the business. If you're knowledge-hungry you'll gain something, of your own volition.

Cons

Pretty much everything else. A lifer/dinosaur mentality that's been cultivating for the past 25 years, while recruiting a huge number of new people at the same time with no infrastructure, training or even desks in place, for that matter. No orientation/handover/induction processes in place, it's all "sink or swim" but without the slightest guidance/support. Hot desking - aka literally working in the corridors - has been baptised "smart working"(!). If you're not there by 7am, good luck finding a parking spot - you then have to drive at least 2 miles - if you're lucky and don't have to go an extra 5 miles to the airport - to a park and ride, get the shuttle bus and arrive at work at 9 - 9:30. Very productive...! I won't even begin to talk about the Line Managers, most of whom don't even have a degree, much less possess any people management skills. Work recognition absolutely non-existent, it's all about politics and personal preferences. 50-60 hours' work a week and not even a good word, not to mention overtime or bonus or a salary increase. No meritocracy whatsoever - I'm being literal when I say a Senior Manager of 20+ years in JLR had no idea what the word meant (!) Among the top 2 worst professional experiences in my entire life, if not the first.
