Pros

Relaxed working environment with low pressure levels. Early finish on Friday afternoons. The pension scheme is notably generous compared to industry standards. Regular training opportunities and support for skill-building

Cons

The IT infrastructure is frustratingly outdated, turning basic tasks like timesheets and expenses into time-consuming battles with unresponsive systems that significantly impact productivity. More seriously, there's a noticeable "clique" mentality where career advancement depends more on internal connections than actual skills or contributions. Talented individuals without the right contacts often find themselves overlooked for opportunities and promotions, which has unfortunately led to the departure of several highly capable colleagues
