Pros

Looks after its employees and provides a lot of opportunities and if you want it, responsibility. Movement between roles in the company is relatively straightforward. A job for life!

Cons

Suffers from "not invented here" and can be slow to move and very bureaucratic. If you're good and progress up the career ladder quickly, then you are penalised from a pay perspective often earning much lower than your peers

Pros

Took exactly 2 weeks from initial discussion to written offer. Never seen a large organisation move so fast!. Only 4 weeks in so cant really comment properly on what its like to work here, but so far so good. Excellent on boarding and induction program, great people to work with. Very interesting work..

Cons

Massive growth leading to challenges around process and people... Though more opportunities that challenges!!!
