      Great company and people, but few opportunities to advance your career

      Pros

      Great supportive working environment, with smart, friendly people. Chance to work on great brands. Good work life balance, with not a lot of pressure on face time. Great benefits: central location, in house gym, doctor, 25 days holiday..etc Lovely to work for a company that wants to make the world a better place! USLP is inspiring.

      Cons

      Every 2 years there was a new company structure. After the failed KH take over bid, moved towards more of a cost cutting culture. Very little room to advance. You could wait YEARS for someone to leave in order to even apply for a higher up position.

      Pros

      Some very smart, collaborative people Some good benefits e.g. Healthcare, childcare vouchers etc however these have dwindled in recent years Offices are generally nice environments to work in Staff shop

      Cons

      Big global organisation and generally my experience of supporting functions like IT or HR are poor Difficult to progress career wise despite strong track record due to constant restructuring and streamlining of teams Often set unmanageable workloads, very high pressure and whilst appearing to value flexible working, that is questionable
