Pros

Benefits are always good given the company size. Good for people who are happy to do little work on a daily basis.

Cons

They pump you full of self love, tell you how great you are. But when the shareholders aren't happy, they cut jobs, in 7 years of employment we went through 6 redundancy cycles. Love to promote themselves as a caring business, and sold business to focus on the UK. But they didn't want the UK staff. As they got rid of 90% of their IT workers as soon as Lockdown eased, and shipped it to India during their own crisis, all for profit to the billionaire stakeholders. They never change. Because of the huge, and I mean huge structure, progressing is near impossible. This company has more board members than most firms have staff, the money they waste would run a small country.
