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 Due to outdated processes this is difficult to resolve, and management are uninterested in a solution.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

Growth. Brand image. Perception.

Cons

Appalling top down mentality. Behaviours at board level that are adversarial / borderline bullying. Blame cuture rife. Suppliers are espoused as “partners”. Cracks very quickly show when cost e.g. warranty liability are discussed. If you condone swearing and table thumping (and I’ve seen it at board level) then you’ll align very well with this culture.
