Pros

Perks are pretty good here, private health care, discount scheme, pension.

Cons

Tom in HR is useless. Just completely ignores emails. Not what you want from HR. I got put on a personal improvement plan 6 months into my role, for mistakes I made that would've been avoided had I had any sort of training. Senior management lied to HR and said I wasn't doing my work to get me a record of discussion.

Pros

Feel looked after and part of the team, great team members, senior leadership demonstrate that they listen to employee feedback in their actions and policy changes. It’s the small things that go a long way.

Cons

Nothing major. It you’re prepared to actually do the job you’re paid for, then there shouldn’t be any issues.
