Pros

Commitment to sustainable business, flexibility, good diverse mix of people, global company with challenging and often interesting projects

Cons

HR are awful. I was made promises that were not kept, so I left. Incredible amount of political manoeuvring and infighting between functions - everyone is trying to protect their patch, advance their budget. I&A HQ is in Kingston, which is a pain for most people to get to. I&A as an organisation is still working out what value it adds to the business.
