Pros

Large head office with good facilities. Very good at making the company look like a great place to work through their social channels, but isn’t a true reflection of “life at next”

Cons

Many roles are underpaid compared to the market. Very clicky environment, if you don’t get on with the right people don’t expect to progress regardless of if you do a great job. Real focus on presentism, rather than actually doing the job you are paid to do. Inexperienced managers in some areas, who aren’t given the support needed to be a good manager. The recruitment team often don’t give feedback to applicants and just ignore them.
