Pros

Great heritage and name in the market. Historically good pension and share schemes, albeit they are being cut now.

Cons

Executive Management team are sadly out of their depth, which can be fine but rather than acknowledge the skills of many in the group they have taken the attitude they have nothing to learn. This has led to some of the best people in the business leaving the company in the last 18 months, feeling mistreated and unable to see any benefit in staying. Those that remain at the top are in the majority all 'yes' people and do not have the correct mindset to lead or create real value, this is not a leadership team their army wish to follow.

Pros

Work life balance is great! Leadership, peers and HR is very supportive. Everyone in the company is always willing to spend time with you to connect and answer questions. Company culture is awesome. Compensation is good.

Cons

Company is very transparent and your work and results are viewed by peers and leadership. You have to be invested 100% or else you may not be satisfied.
